*URGENT* Prayers for Sassy!

I'm talking to Alyssa on AIM, and Sassy is peeing blood. Her parents said that if it doesn't stop they will take her to the vet. PLEASE Keep Sassy in your thoughts. :(

It sounds like she has a urinary tract/bladder infection and it probably won't stop on its own. I have never heard of one spontaneously resolving, although I guess anythign is possible. If she is peeing blood she needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible, it can go up into her kidneys and cause kidney failure, and you don't need me to tell you what that means. My Ginger did that once too, she ended up on antibiotics for 45 days but it finally got better. Some of those are hard to get rid of and they need to have the urine retested after the first round to make sure it's gone, and if not continue on either longer or a different antibiotic, whichever the vet feels is best.

Good luck Sassy! I hope you get better soon.

Here Alyssa

We think it's only a urinary track infection! I am so happy it's not serious blood. Its very little.

I really hope that it is only a urinary tract infection and not something worse, Sassy seems like such a sweetie. Hang in there, Sassy girl.

I hope that sassy really gets better. That would really freak me out if that happened to one of my dogs.

Sassy, please get well soon.

Love, Fenway

She hasn't gone to the bathroom in a while. This IS good. :D

Get well soon sassy!!!!

Did you take her to the vet? UTIs don't go away by themselves.

And the answer to that question is to see if she gets better, and if not they will take her :p

How is saying take her to the vet rude?


I hope she's alright.

I am sorry if you think I am being 'rude'..I am not. telling her to take Sassy to the vet is far from rude. I am not going to argue with you any further. I hope she is better soon.

Sorry luvofallhorses, it just seemed rude because you didn't say I hope she gets better or anything with Why don't you take her to the vet!!

Well by saying that she should go to the vet that kind of implies that she wants her to get better. If she didn't care she wouldnt reply.
