My cat received a Convenia injection for a urinary tract infection a few days ago, and now there's blood in their urine—should I be worried about this side effect?

A few days ago, my cat received a Convenia injection for a urinary tract infection. However, I've now noticed there's blood in her urine. I'm really concerned if this could be a side effect of the injection or if the infection hasn't improved or worsened. Should this be cause for alarm, and do I need to bring her in for another examination?

Answer
