Anyone who has raised a poodle knows that as long as the poodle’s body shows no discomfort symptoms, its eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping will be very normal. However, once the poodle has health problems, obvious discomfort symptoms will appear. Among the many discomfort symptoms in poodles, hematuria is a relatively common issue. So, what exactly causes hematuria in poodles? Let’s learn more below.

1. The poodle is suffering from urinary system diseases. When the poodle’s urethra or bladder is infected by bacteria, the poodle will show hematuria symptoms. In addition, problems with the poodle’s ureter can also easily cause hematuria.

2. The poodle accidentally ate food it shouldn’t. Apart from diseases causing hematuria, if the poodle eats foods like onions or chocolate that it should not consume, hematuria can also occur. It is worth mentioning that these foods can cause hematuria in mild cases or threaten the poodle’s life in severe cases, so pet owners must take this seriously.

3. The poodle has entered its heat period. Normally, a male poodle enters its heat period at about six months old. Once in heat, hematuria may appear. Of course, hematuria caused by this reason does not require special treatment.

4. The poodle has suffered an injury. When the poodle’s genitals are injured, bleeding will naturally occur during urination. Therefore, pet owners need to observe carefully and must not ignore injuries but treat them promptly.

Normally, the urine color of a healthy poodle should be light yellow. If we find the poodle’s urine color is red or dark red, it indicates hematuria. If the problem is serious, we should take the poodle to a veterinarian promptly. If not too severe, we can continue to observe. In short, everything should be based on the poodle’s health and comfort.
