Question
hello for the last couple of days, my dog will lay down & she'll just pee. I don't know what what is causing this. We just come in a few hours ago. And there is blood also. Please help.

Answer
Hi Tina, Sounds like your dog has a urinary infection.  You will need to see the Vet right away for some antibiotics.  They may also take a urine sample to culture.  The blood and frequent urination are the major symptoms of a UTI ( infection).

Please call the Vet for an appointment.

Here is a post about how to avoid future Urinary infections - Cranberry can be very helpful and NuVet supplements, see here:
