My dog is peeing blood often, vet's closed. What to do for a UTI?

Question

I noticed that my dog has been urinating every ten minutes and then I saw blood. The vet isn’t open right now, what can I do? I think it might be a UTI? Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Male | neutered | 7 months and 21 days old | 28 lbs

Poor pup! It does sound like he may have an infection or other urinary problem. I would recommend taking him to the vet to be seen once they open tomorrow morning - he will likely need a urinalysis to check for infection, and possibly additional testing depending on what is found. If he does have a UTI, he will need prescription antibiotics to treat the problem. In the meantime, there isn't much you can do except take him out frequently and monitor to make sure he isn't developing any other symptoms. There are no over-the-counter meds that will be of any help, so the best thing is to take him to a vet as soon as you are able to.
