Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / February 2004

I have a mix breed terrior, female, 8 years old that has started to
bleed.  It seems to happen when she gets excited, numerous large drops
of blood, some clotted, are all over floor. She also is very sensitive
in her hind area now. The vet diagnosed her problem as a urinary
infection (?) and gave us antibiotics. There has been no change in her
condition. If anything it is getting worse. I subsquently discovered
that she has a history of bladder stones. She had an operation about 5
years ago in which bladder stones, 1 the size of an egg, were removed.
I fear that she has either sever bladder stone problem once again or
something more serious.

Any comments or suggestions are very welcome
