What anti-inflammatory medicine can a dog with blood in its urine take?
Expert Answer
Blood in urine usually needs an anti-inflammatory drug such as one containing amoxicillin-clavulanate. But blood in urine can have different causes needing different treatments, so first take the dog to a vet for a detailed exam to find the exact reason.
If the bleeding is from stones, antibiotics only temporarily relieve symptoms and don’t fix the underlying problem.
My dog's blood in urine needed a vet visit before any antibiotic, because the cause, stones versus infection, changes the fix, and the vet said antibiotics alone won't move a stone. I'd get the exam and imaging first. Mine's was an infection that cleared with the right drug, but I'd never self-prescribe, blood in urine is a "see the vet" sign, the underlying cause decides the treatment.
