Dogo peeing blood (like red wine), in ICU for 2 weeks CT scan booked for tomorrow.

Hi there,



I'm really sorry to hear about your dog, Dogo. It must be very stressful to see them go through this, but it's good to know a CT scan is on the horizon, which should provide some clearer answers.



Seeing blood in urine can be alarming, and there are a few potential reasons for it. It could be due to a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, trauma, or even a condition affecting the kidney. Less commonly, it could be related to a clotting disorder or a tumor within the urinary tract.



While Dogo is in ICU, rest assured the veterinary team is closely monitoring their condition. In the meantime, ensure Dogo stays comfortable and hydrated, as adequate fluid intake helps support kidney function and can dilute the urine, potentially reducing irritation.



Keep an eye out for any signs that may indicate a more serious issue, such as increased lethargy, refusal to eat or drink, vomiting, or significant changes in urination patterns. These could mean an escalation and warrant immediate attention.



I know it's a lot to handle—why don't we schedule a video consult on Dial A Vet? That way, we can discuss Dogo’s specific condition more thoroughly and explore the next best steps together.



Wishing Dogo a speedy recovery!
