dog with blood in urine
Bear(4yo male neutered Lhasa Apso) was diagnosed with Oxalate Bladder stoned 1 1/2 years ago and underwent surgery and had them removed. He is on medication that I give him twice a day to prevent the stones from coming back. He is also on prescription sciende diet 1/2 UD and 1/2 WD. In October I noticed pink in his urine. Took him to the vet with a urine sample. PH was a bit high, but all tests including xray were fine. He was ok until a week ago, noticed pink again with more red sprinkler at end of urination. Took urine sample to vet, PH was perfect, found no blood cells in urine, vet says she could not see anything wrong with his urine. Was told to keep an eye on him. That could be snowflake like crystals that are irritating him. ! week later, still blood at end of urination. He is palyful, alert, eats fine, is not straining and is not having frequent urination. Should I be concerned and when should I take him to the vet again? |

Cat moving house and not adjusting well
My cat and I moved into a new home. He now has three canine friends who he has spent time with before. One of the dogs was eating the felines stool, so I purchased the Purrforma self cleaning litter box. He would only urinate in it and chose to defecate on my side of the bed after 6 days. He attempted to defecate another time, I got him and placed him in the litter box, however that only worked once, and choose the bed again. Since then I purchased a new non automated litter box and returned him to his feline pine cat litter - that was two days ago and he has not eliminated anything sine. I have been leaving the bedroom door closed so he is not tempted. I'm just waiting for him to use it. any thoughts?
Should I lock him in a confined area until he uses it?
I need some advise or he might end up getting kicked out, and he is a special need cat as he has three fused lumbar (congenital defect.)
He is also doing an excessive amount of licking to the point where he has two balding patches. He just had an allergy shot 4 weeks ago. Should I inquire about behavioral modification type drugs?
