HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I feel so bad. My friends dog can't pee. Its the saddest thing.. This all started sunday. she noticed her dog bleeding like she had her period. Then she noticed the dog couldn't pee. So my friend made an apt with the vet the next day. the vet did some blood work and it came back that her blood platelets were dangerously low but no infections and no blockages. that was monday. today her platelets are back to normal but the dog still can't pee. with that said.. anyone have any ideas what could be wrong. its so heartbreaking to watch her =( Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Sure no infection? Sounds like a bladder infection. One time an old dog of ours started peeing blood. Poor guy had probably had the infection for a long time for it to get that bad. But, we had no way of knowing. Link to comment

HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 her blood work came back clean .. accept for low platelets... i think its a bladder infection too...but they say the blood work was clean. Link to comment
HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 I don't know much about dogs, but it it's not an infection it could be kidney failure. =/ if they did blood work .. wouldn't it have shown up in the blood work? it is my understanding that when there is kidney failure toxins show up in the blood. her blood work came back clean.

catfeeder Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Did they use a catheter to relieve her? What did her vet recommend she do for the poor thing? Link to comment
Anotherday Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Poor pooch. This sounds like it could be a serious problem. I would get an opinion from another Vet. This is nothing to mess around with. It could be a serious issue. Link to comment
HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 She has been to three vets!!! They are going to another vet today. I hope they figure it out......the dog is in so much pain!! Link to comment
TechResQ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Hi HHWH! Did they take x-rays to determine whether she has bladder stones? I've seen stones so large there literally isn't any room left in the bladder...it also causes hematuria (blood in urine). You are right, kidney failure would definitely show up in blood tests...the BUN and creatinine levels would be altered. I hope they figure it out soon...poor dog. How old is she? Link to comment

HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yes ...it came back as cancer... she has a tumor. It can't really be treated so my friend said she was going to let the dog guide her for when its ready... but for now... she is peeing and eating... and back to herself. =( Link to comment
