Kenny has blood in his wee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to get Ken to the vet, i just toke him out, he went to wee, but all that came out was a little wee with blood in it !! I've spoken to the vet and he needs to be seen now, or at the very latest in the morning. Im well stressed out, we dont have a car any more. The emergancy vet is in Cardiff (20 miles away), its Sunday night, Bus service is crap. !!!!! She said it could be an infection or the anti biotics he's taking!!!

Try not to panic, it could be anything, are there any vets you can go to closer in the morning?

I hope he is okay

As Janey says , don't panic. I would be getting him to the vet in the morning but I wouldn't be panicking about it tonight , I assume you will have your own vet closer to you tomorrow

yes, ours is only a mile and half away, its just she said he'll be in alot of pain. She also said that i'll have to pay £89 just to be seen. Its not i dont want to pay, but the amount is pathetic !! Do you think he'll be ok until tomorrow. He's also squatting like a girl to wee, which she said will be that he has a sensation of needing to wee all the time

It could be a UTI hun, I am sure he will be ok until the morning Xx

It's really up to you at the end of the day Kelly but IF it was me personally from what you have described , and I love my dogs to bits, I would be first thing in the morning

It's quite possibly just an infection. A few hours won't make much difference I don't think and I would leave it until tomorrow morning personally. Don't worry yourself

First thing in the morning.

It could be an infection, the antibiotics or even an enlarged prostate - all three, although not very nice, can wait another few hours for the normal vet.

It might be an idea, though, to get up a couple of times in the night in case he's uncomfortable & needs to pee.

Let us know how you get on.

Poor Kenny >< Let us know how you get on tomorrow

spoke to the vet again, she said has long as he's still perky, he can wait until the morning. She said to stop the Anti-b's as they can cause crystals x

Now try and relax Xx

Definitely try to relax, I know you must be really worried, but the vet says it can wait until the morning, so do that. Hope it gets sorted out quickly

ahh poor Kenny,hope he gets on ok tomorrow ><

Poor Kenny, I hope he feels better soon, try not to panic (easier said than done i know) hugs to you both.

Hope Kenny gets well soon.

Poor boy Let us know how he goes in the morning ><

Poor Kenny, let us know how the appointment goes ><

Kenny had crystals in his urine and a mild infection. This was caused by the anti-b's for his kennel cough. He was fine last night, i prob could of waited until today, but i was so worried for him. He's now on different anti-b's for the KC and was given some painkillers. He's still perky and happy so thats the main thing.

Forgot to add, he has to go back to our vet this morning for another urine test and check up. So im mega skint now

Aww I'm glad Kenny is ok & it's nothing to serious, Hopefully he'll be we'll again soon, we do love our dogs which usually = skint.

I couldnt belive the cost, £89 consultation , £2.00 urine dip stick test, £17 anti-b's, £8.50 for a few days painkillers. £20 each way for taxi, and thats with out today
I also paid £54 on friday

Wow. Is a consultation always that high at your vets? I know in the grand scheme of things it's work it to see Kenny get better, but that's pricey. Anyway, glad it's nothing serious and hope he's well again soon

Hi tara, no, that was for the out of hours vet,
my vets charge £26 consultation. x

I know you were worried, but you really could have waited till this morning & saved yourself at least £89 if not more.

Glad he's ok, though. ><

glad to hear kenny's ok ><

I know, but i could settle. God knows how much more today.
His appointment is at 10.30, i'll update soon as we're back x

Glad he ok and sorry about the bills!

Hope everything goes ok, thinking of you both ><

I take it the £89 consultation fee was for the out of hours vet, this would cost more than the usual fee. Do you have insurance ?

Hoping Kenny is soon on the mend >< ><

Yeah that was out of hours fee Kathy ... our vets is only £20 normal consultation

Glad Kenny is on the mend and gettin sorted ><

Just got back. I honestly think they havnt got a clue!!! His water was tested again, it's showing signs of infection and alot of blood. A very small amount of crystals, which she has decided not to treat yet!! She couldnt feel his bladder to good as Kenny was so tence. She then asked has Kenny been to the West Country, as there's been alot of Lung worm cases. (He hasnt). She said it may not be Kennel Cough, but Lung work, which has symptoms of a cough and bleeding. He's to carry on taking the new anti-B's along with Advocate, just in case !!! He has to go back monday. So im now £200 worse off ans still dont know whats wrong. P..........d off is an understatement. Not because i had to spend so much, as I'll do anything for him, bit because I've spent so much to be told " Im not to sure"!!!

Poor Kenny and poor you too >< I hope they sort it out soon

Eugh, horrid amount of money to have to hand out and not even feel satisfied with the result

Hope it improves for you though

That is rubbish, lets just hope that Kenny gets well soon

Hi all, Kenny's still perky, but passed a blood clot while weeing (pic below).
Spoken to the vet again, her answer to this was "proberly the infection" !!
I've lost all confidence in this vet. I do have insurance. I'll ring them tomorrow to see what they can do x

Kenny's wee looks Blood free this Morning

Lets hope this means the infection or whatever it was has cleared Fingers and paws crossed for Kenny

thank you, keeping my fingers crossed x

You can probably down load a claim form from the insurance companies website, this is what we have recently done for Rocky's claim, or drop them an email asking for one. We then just completed this and took it into the vets who filled in their part and sent it off straight to the insurance for us.

Pleased to hear that the infection has passed, ><

I hope thats the end of it ><

Fingers crosed he's on the mend now

How really scary for you, you must be so relieved he is on the mend.
