bloody urine

Sent to Pet Experts August 2 2006 at 12:56 PM
   

I have a Yorkie that is 5 years old. She has been having some blood tinged urine. Now she seems to be leaking like a milky looking substance at night when she sleeps. She started doing this after she was in heat for about 2 weeks. Everyone keeps telling me it sounds like kidney failure or some type of cancer. Please help me know what to do. I cant really afford to take her to the vet right now I am having some financial difficulties. Is my dog dying or is there something I can do to help her myself.

Age: 5; Female; Breed: yorkie

This could be a uterine infection or a bladder infection its hard to be sure from your description.

She does need vet care to find out what is going on and to treat it.
