Hello,

I'm sorry to hear about your dog.

This is likely an unrelated finding. Blood in urine (with no symptoms of pain or inappetance) usually indicates cystitis or bladder infection. You will need to let your vet run a urinalysis on your dog to determine this and decide which treatment is necessary. Often a short course of antibiotics cures this, and will not interfere with his enzyme problem. As long as she's doing ok otherwise (its normal for her to be irritated when urinating with this), it is not an emergency unless she's letting out straight blood, as opposed to urine that has blood in it.

Best wishes,

Christine

Just make sure she has access to plenty of fresh water until then. If irritated, they will drink more. Best wishes,
