Jill, is Gary at home? What is her HCT at now? I am so glad to hear she is here and eating!
Lucy, who has the bladder stone I wrote about a minute ago, sometimes has a lot of blood in her urine (bright red) and sometimes only a little (very slightly tinged pink). It usually seems to do with how much urine she passes-- the more urine, the less concentrated the blood and the less straining. Sometimes she urinates without any blood, then goes back a minute later and urinates a few bright red drops. The vet told me to give her sub q fluids to keep her bladder fuller and help her strain less. But she drinks a lot and does not really strain that much, so I have not done that consistently. I would think you would definitely want to rule out any kind of partial or total blockage before giving fluids, though. Michelle
