Why is my dog still peeing blood and having accidents after cystotomy?

Question

I have a 9 year old female shih tzu who underwent a Cystotomy last Thursday. She still is urinating lots of blood. She is on Carprofen, Gabepitin, and a Chinese herb for bleeding. I am concerned and scared should I be? She is having accidents also. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 14 lbs

I would get her back in to see your vet as soon as possible. Some bleeding is normal after a cystotomy, but this does sound concerning. If she is not making any progress in other ways, such as having a good appetite, feeling like moving around, if she is vomiting or has diarrhea, I would get her seen right away. If she seems to be recovering well otherwise, aside from the blood, then getting her rechecked isn't quite so urgent.
