Poor Rocky. He could have a problem with his prostate, may have leptospirosis, a UTI, or bladder stones causing this. He is very sick and he needs to see a vet immediately. Please take him into one now.

Hello, our dog rocky hasn't been eating or pooping lately. He will drink water and urinate normally but he has been very weak and not himself.
Poor Rocky! If he does not want to eat and is starting to seem weak, he may be anemic or have some very serious illness going on. I recommend a vet visit right away for bloodwork and X-rays to identify what is going on with him and how to help him feel better. Sometimes autoimmune diseases like immune mediated hemolytic anemia can look like what you are seeing with Rocky.

What would make my dog rocky pee blood?
I see that Rocky isn't neutered. In dogs who aren't neutered, prostate problems are a very likely cause of bleeding from the penis. These problems include benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and prostate cancer. The bleeding could also be caused by leptospirosis, bladder tumors, trauma, a UTI, or bladder stones. I would take him into your vet today for an exam. Your vet can do a rectal exam to see if his prostate is enlarged, and can do x-rays, routine blood tests, and a urinalysis to see if he has a UTI or bladder stones. If he does have a problem with his prostate, neutering him is one of the recommended treatments.

My dog is weak and not eating or drinking. She leans to her left side and can't stand up and walk and falls and can't get up. She also has blood in her urine. Please advise to what I should do.
All of those combined sound like a very serious issue that should be seen by a veterinarian in person immediately. Toxicity, neurologic issues, illness, vestibular issues, muscular problems, etc can all be potential causes, so it is best to seek help from a veterinarian in person or a local ER clinic ASAP.

Hi my dog is very sick he has not been eating for 2 days, he only drinks a little water and today i did a blood test
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Loss of appetite can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. On the CBC (on the right side), I can see that Rocky has a mild to moderate anemia and mildly elevated white blood cells. These are relatively non-specific factors that can be associated with many diseases. The data on the left side I unfortunately cannot read as I do not understand the language. I recommend that you have Rocky evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If he is not drinking water well, he should be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible to prevent dehydration. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Dog starting acting weird last night. He woke up today peeing blood. Hasn’t thrown up. But he did eat and drink some water. We even gave him water with apple v in it. He’s just lethargic. And I’m worried.
Poor guy. I too am worried that he could have a bleeding disorder, urinary stones, or a raging urinary tract infection. I would highly recommend taking him to your vet as soon as you can. They need to do some bloodwork and a urinalysis on him to determine what his current health status is. Best case scenario is that he has a raging UTI, which typically responds to antibiotics. I hope your furry friend feels better soon! Best wishes and take care.

I just adopted my dog this week and he's an older dog (At least 6). He has a slightly runny nose and itchy ears with no redness or visible irritation as well as weezing when he lays down. It has been a struggle to get him to eat and he threw up three
I am sorry to hear about Rocky! What concerns me most about his symptoms right now is the fact that he is wheezing. This would warrant a visit to the vet right away. With wheezing we would worry about things like a respiratory infection (which can also cause runny nose) as well as other lung abnormalities and heart problems. He needs to be examined by a vet, have his heart and lungs listened to with a stethescope. Depending on their exam findings they may recommend testing such as x-ray of the chest. They can look down into his ears while he is there to check for signs of infection or foreign bodies.

My male undeserved red cattle is 10 yrs old and is just slight dripping of blood urine still looks yellow when wee but little dots of blood around house he seems happy and in no distress .?
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rocky. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. Blood in the urine or coming from the prepuce is always concerning in an older male dog. The veterinarian will examine him and likely collect a sterile urine sample, x-rays of his abdomen as well as blood work. These results will either give a diagnosis or guide further testing. For example, the blood could be due to a prostate infection, bladder stones, a mass in the bladder or even a bleeding disorder. A simple bladder infection is actually quite rare in a male dog. It is good that he is still happy and acting normal, but I do encourage you to have him seen. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gerome. I recommend that you seek veterinary care for him right away. I am very worried about him. His signs sound very serious. He needs to be examined and may need blood work and x-rays to determine the source of his illness. Based on these results, hopefully treatment can be started to help him feel better. I hope this information helps!

My dog has blood in his urine and has lost 15lbs in less than 5 months. And has become very picky with his food. Can you tell me what may he wrong?
Wow, this is not good. The blood in Bane's urine could be due to prostate problems, a UTI, bladder stones, trauma to the bladder, leptospirosis, or bladder tumors. Weight loss can be caused by numerous things including systemic illness and cancer. You will need to take him into a vet this weekend or first thing Monday to have this diagnosed. Best of luck.

My dog Rocky is about a year old he's a Rottweiler he started barking in the middle night about 1 p.m. a.m. and he has diarrhea and he's bleeding from his but hole should I be concerned
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Diarrhea with blood can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Rocky evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
