I have a Bichon that is about 18 weeks old. Ever since we had her she has had blood in her urine. She has been to the vet several times for this problem and has been medicated. The last time the vet had her urine cultured and said that she had a nasty infection and he put her on medication for 15 days. She seemed to be getting better, came off the medication on Tuesday this week and today her urine had blood in it. I have taken her back to the vet today and he now said that we should spade (not sure of spelling) her and then he could look at her bladder at the same time. We would like to breed her at least once but her health is more important. I would just like a second opinion. Our vet has said he has never seen an infection like this in such a young dog.
