Dog Health Questions: Concerns About My Grandmother's Dog.Leg problems,Peeing blood.?

My grandmother's dog is a Mini-Yorkie.She is 11 years old.
My grandmother just took her to the vets because she has been having problems with her left leg. Limping,etc. Well the vet said that she may have pulled a muscle or tendon..and he gave her some pain medication to take for 10 days.

Well..my grandmother's dog is trained to pee inside..on those dog training pads,in her bathroom. Well while I was in the bathroom..I looked down on the pad she usually pee's on...and saw blood right where she has pee'd. It was like a string of blood.

So I guess my question is...is would this have anything to do with her leg. Like inflammation?..
or could there be a more serious problem there?

Dog Training Tips for the New Dog Owner



Recommended Answer:
Well, she could be on her monthly cycle, which only occurs for about 10 days out of every 4-6 months. But if it continues she probably needs to visit the vet again. Could be a urinary tract infection or a kidney stone. It wouldn't have anything to do with something wrong with her leg.Good luck!

  • Is she spayed? If not, she might be in heat. Otherwise, this is definitely something she needs to go back to the vet about.

  • Call your vet. Her leg problems may be something more than leg problems.
