I think my dog has a UTI. She’s urinating frequently but only small amounts of urine each time and I noticed a few drops of blood in her urine as well and she is not in heat. How can I cure this?

Poor Rosie! I agree, this definitely sounds suspicious for a UTI. Unfortunately, this is not something you can treat yourself at home - she will need antibiotics from your vet to treat the infection. I would recommend taking her in tomorrow for an exam. Your veterinarian can do a urinalysis to confirm whether or not she has a UTI, and will prescribe an appropriate antibiotic to treat it if needed.

Poor Chili. It sounds like she has a urinary tract infection. I would recommend giving her free access to water for now and getting her seen by your vet for a urinalysis. If she does have a confirmed UTI then she will need a short course of oral antibiotics prescribed by your vet to clear the infection. In uncomplicated cases of a UTI this is all that is needed to clear things up and get her well again. The blood is likely coming from inflammation of her bladder, which is commonly seen with UTI's.
