OT: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
Hey guys, Nilla Belle was brought home yesterday after her spay Thursday. They wanted to keep her overnight because she bled a lot because she was in heat and they said they had to wrap her. I am not sure what all this means, but now I notice she's peeing blood. She's been in the house and we didn't let her out in time and she peed on the tile. Yesterday it was medium reddish yellow, but I just got up and noticed that she peed twice more while we were sleeping and one of the pees was the color of the other yesterday, but the other was pretty red. The vet doesn't open for another hour and a half, so I have to wait to call. If anyone is up out there (I am betting Nina isn't as it's 4:30 am her time), do you know what could be causing this? Can she pop a stitch and it bleed into her bladder? That doesn't sound right. Maybe she has had a UTI and we didn't know it? Any advice is appreciated, Thanks, Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

I'm no dog expert but I've shared my life with plenty of them. I've never had a problem like this. Do you have an emergency vet nearby or will your vet come in for emergencies? My concern is for the rest of the weekend. Also, I would not be put off. I would want to see a vet for my own peace of mind. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Re: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
Thanks Marylyn, They open in less than half an hour, so we'll call right away. If we have to take her in, we will, but I am hoping all she needs is antibiotics. I don't want her stuck at the vets all day Sunday by herself if all she needs is antibiotics, you know? :) Wendy --- Marylyn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm no dog expert but I've shared my life with plenty of them.

Re: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
No I would not want her alone at the vet's. She would be better off with someone (you) watching after her. My concerns are whether you have backup if the vet is not open. I live in a rural area and finding vets off hours here can be (at best) interesting. Nilla is such a lucky dog. I wish her a long and happy life with you and you with her.

I would call the vet this morning before they close.

Re: OT: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
Well, the vet said that it isn't uncommon for this to happen. She said she is 90% sure a round of Cephalexin should do the trick, so I went and picked some up this morning (in the middle of our garage sale). She said if it didn't, to bring her in Monday. Other than peeing blood, Nilla Belle is doing great. You wouldn't know she was ill other than the blood. :) Wendy --- catatonya [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would call the vet this morning before they close.

Re: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
Eee Gads! Shame on your vet, I say, he COULD have sent her home and told you sorry, the complications are too high while she is in heat, please reschedule after she is out of heat. JMO. I wonder if it is actually blood in the pee, or if she's bleeding from her vagina, and it's just mixing in with the pee as it passes through the vulva. There shouldn't be any reason for there to be blood in the urine after a spay, the bladder is not involved with the spay surgery. The only way there would be blood in the urine caused by a spay is if the vet accidentally lacerated the bladder, and had to repair it, and the repair is not holding.

Re: OT: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
Hi Sweetie, You've probably brought Nilla in to the vet by now. I am concerned. I don't like that the blood in her urine seems to be getting more concentrated, not less. The fact that she was in heat during her spay does cause further complications. I did a quick Google and did come up with a site that mentioned blood in the urine after spay: *The usual cause is manipulation of the urinary bladder (which is directly adjacent to the uterus) during the surgical procedure. Under normal conditions these symptoms disappear within a few days. *She's a strong healthy girl, I'm praying they are able to figure out what's going on and let her come home with you, (I wouldn't leave her there unless they have round the clock care). Please let us know as soon as you can. You're in my prayers and thoughts, Nina wendy wrote: Hey guys, Nilla Belle was brought home yesterday after her spay Thursday.

Re: OT: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
Maybe it isn't uncommon for this to happen after /your/ vet operates, but I've never experienced or heard of it being something not to be concerned about. I'm with Jen, she should have told you it's better to wait until Nilla was out of her heat cycle. Did you tell her the blood was getting more concentrated? I'm glad Nilla is not acting like she's in distress or pain, but make sure you keep her quiet for her own good. Keep a close eye on the situation and make sure you have someplace to take her if things get worse before Monday. I'm still concerned.

Re: OT: To Nina and other dog experts: Nilla Belle peeing blood after spay
Thanks Nina, That's exactly what the vet tech told me when I came in. She said they have to express the bladder and that can sometimes irritate the bladder. She also mentioned nicking the bladder could be a cause, but didn't think that was the reason. I hope she isn't going to get anemic from losing blood. Let's hope this clears up soon! :) Wendy --- Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Sweetie, You've probably brought Nilla in to the vet by now. I am concerned.
