*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.

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.

I just remembered this.... (though this child is a human)My mom's friends daugther had this, she was peeing pure blood!! It was a UTI... I think she had to go to the doctor of course to get it treated!So i'm assuming sassy will have to go to the vet... Hope she gets well soon!! I love you sassy!!
