My dog Scarlett is 14 and I just notice this morning that her urine is bloody and she all having problem getting up and down. Her nose is also warm. She has a big big lump on her right hip, and a lot of small ones on her body.

Vet Suggestion for Blood in Dog Urine and Skin Lumps


Hello Betty,

This is potentially an emergency situation for your dog. She could have a severe infection of her urinary tract or blood stream, a bleeding disorder, or another exceptionally serious condition. Call your veterinarian or nearest veterinary emergency center immediately. She should be seen as soon as possible to give her the best chance at recovery and to reduce her suffering.



Best of luck,

Jennifer Coates, DVM
