Blood in Luna's urine.

[.unknown.]

About two weeks ago, I noticed that Luna's urine was tinged red. I called my vet, got a urine sample in and there was blood detected, inflammation, but no real bacteria or anything. She was given baytril, just in case and we were supposed to see an improvement in 2-3 days. She seemed to respond slightly (didn't seem to be straining, no visible blood and wasn't licking), but I've notice this passed weekend, her urine is consistantly tinged red, instead of just the morning and evening urination, she's also straining.

She is going to go in for an x-ray to check for stones, tumors/polyps.

I'm totally stressing out... Luna's older - around 9 or 10 (not 100% sure) and I am worried it might be cancer. She has some growths on her back and legs, that are just cysts, but also had a benign tumor removed from her lip when she was about 7, i'm not sure if that makes her more susceptible to growths internally, though.

I know I shouldn't worry until I talk to her vet, but yeah. It's also, of course, really bad timing financially. We've booked flights to a wedding where my BF is a groomsman, had to do a plumbing repairs etc. Luckily, I've been a long time client at the vet and the receptionist said they would proibably be able to work something out, but yeah!

Hopefully the vet visit is this afternoon , this could be an emergency and she may have a blocked bladder. How much urine came out?

[.unknown.]

She is peeing normal amounts of urine and has been the whole time. She just seems to have the feeling of needing to go for a couple of minutes after she goes.

Her X-rays came back clear. She's going to go on a different anti-biotic, if that doesn't work we'll send her urine away for a better analysis and possibly an ultrasound.

ugh.

Worrying sick about her

unknown can you tell me how the sample was taken from Luna. (nosorb collection or cytesis, or did you collect it yourself.... There could be contamination in the sample. Do you have the results you could post...

[.unknown.]

I collected it myself and brough it to the vet within the hour. I'm not sure how the container would be contaminated with red blood cells...it was a new container and the blood was visible.

There were no detected bacteria...
