Question
My female boxer is 8months old and when I took her to use the bathroom I noticed what look like drops of blood when she urinated is this normal or should I. take her to the vet

Answer
She could be in heat. Is her vulva swollen? Is she licking herself a lot?

If so, she is in heat and will have a heat every 5-6 months. Keep a calendar of it so she can't be exposed to males.

If she has been spayed already, then, otherwise, she should go to a vet and check for a bladder or kidney infection.
