Dachshund in pain, blood in urine, no diagnosis. How to help?

Question

Asked a question yesterday & never received an answer.... so I thought Id ask again. My Dachshund has been in pain every day for almost a week and it is killing me. I have been to the vet 3 times so far, and all I know is that she had blood in her urine and 2 bacterias that were sent for a culture and I am still waiting to get results from. All I was told is that it is not bladder stones, bloat, or something neurological I think they said. But no answers & no way to ease the pain.... Please help. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | spayed | 25 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It sounds as though Faith has not received adequate pain control and this is something that should be addressed. If she is just on an anti-inflammatory, I would consider adding a medication such as Methadone or Tramadol to help ease the pain further if the current medication is not cutting it. If x-rays or an abdominal ultrasound have not been performed yet, I would recommend having these done. A CT scan may also help in determining the source of pain. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
