Dog, 10 year old Husky/mix rescue few years ago, has bloody urine. Very strong sour or fishy odor. Can't get to vet until monday. Any products at petsmart to buy for UTI? No visible discomfort or straining, stoll looks normal.

She likely has a urinary tract infection or possibly bladder stones. If you can't get her in any sooner than Monday and can't call them to ask for advice or to move up the appointment and she still seems otherwise okay, get her seen Monday. If she does start feeling sick or has trouble urinating, take her to an emergency clinic, just understand that at any vet right now the wait may be long unless she is an emergency and in very bad shape. I don't know of any products you can buy over the counter that will help, and using OTC products could actually mask symptoms that could help lead to a faster diagnosis when she does get to her appointment.

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.

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.
