Question
My Russian Bolonka was bred July 10th and she should now be 42 days pregnant. This morning I noticed her urine is pink, which to me indicates bloody urine. Should I be worried, or is this a nature part of dog pregnancy?

Answer
Georgie -

Bolonka may have a bladder infection.  Have your veterinarian examine her urine to determine if she needs medicine.  There are about three weeks remaining in the pregnancy and I am sure you want her to be healthy when she delivers so make sure you take her to her doctor as soon as possible. He/she will also check her to make certain the pregnancy is progressing as it should.
