Blood in a pet's urine, also known as hematuria, can be caused by several conditions, including:
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): One of the most common causes of blood in urine, especially in dogs and cats. UTIs can cause inflammation and irritation in the bladder or urethra.
Bladder Stones: Stones in the bladder can scrape the lining of the bladder, causing blood to appear in the urine. Pets may also show signs of discomfort or pain when urinating.
Kidney Disease or Stones: Blood in the urine can be a sign of kidney disease or stones, especially if the kidneys are inflamed or damaged.
