The answer is not fully understandable to me. The words are not fully typed out so that I can understand the answer. It says inulst of surgery? What does that mean? There are several other words that are either misspelled or abreviated short word form that just don't make sense to me. I need to know if frequent urination is common after surgery and if blood in urine is also common after spade surgery. With it being a holiday weekend I need to know if I should take her into the emergency room because of these symtoms.

Customer (name blocked for privacy): I applogize for my collegue..she may have been experiencing some computer problems. Blood in the urine is never common before or after a spay. It sounds like your girl has a really bad infection going on and I would definately take her to the emergency vet for this, as it is going to get worse. Please accept my applogies and I wish you and your girl the best of luck...btw..good for you for chosing to spay :)

That would be great thank you!

Because the uterus and the urinary bladder are located right next to each other, it is possible to have a little bit of blood in the urine following a spay, but it should not cause the symptoms you describe.

Gina is correct when she states that the symptoms are typical of a urinary bladder infection. In order to confirm that this is what is going on, your vet will likely want to check a urine sample. If you can catch a fresh urine sample to bring with you, that would be great. If not, try keeping her inside for 4 - 6 hours prior to the visit to the vet to increase the chances of them being able to collect a sample during the appointment. The treatment is antibiotics and dogs will usually be kept on antibiotics for about 3 weeks. You should see improvement in the symptoms within 48 - 72 hours of starting the medication, but be sure to use all of the medication dispensed in order to try to prevent a recurrence.

If you do not see improvement after being on the medication for 72 hours, be sure to let your vet know. Some dogs will develop stones within their urinary bladder and that can cause persistence of the symptoms even while on antibiotics.

Although this is not a life or death emergency, with any infection, the sooner the pet is treated the less chance there are of complications. I know this is a holiday weekend, but I would try to have her seen as soon as possible, at the emergency clinic if necessary, so you can get her started on treatment and get her feeling better. The longer she goes untreated with a bladder infection, the greater is the chance she will develop the urinary bladder stones I mentioned.

Please ask if you have additional questions.
