Blood in urine, female dachshund, 17 months old.

Sophie

My 17 month old female dachshund seems to have blood in her urine occasionally. She does not seem to be drinking a lot more, maybe a little more, in her-self she is fine and happy, playing as normal etc. Her appetite has maybe reduced but over approx a 2 month period. The blood has been present as watery and is not always present, maybe weekly. She is due a season but shows no other signs of this e.g. enlarged vulva? Or discharge. As this goes on, I am beginning to think and worry that it is not a partial season, but an infection or something.
Thank you very much. I will be online again in 24 hours.

  I would be concerned with a possible urinary infection. I would recommend going to a veterinarian for a sterile urine sample to check for infection.

  *She is adorable by the way*
