Blood in Dog Urine From Stress

(Alexandria, LA)

I've been caring for my daughter's 3 Miniature Schnauzers for a year. She is in college 3 hours away. They went to stay with her for a week and I picked them up last night. We stayed at another daughters house last night before going home.

This morning while I was packing to leave one of the dogs had an accident on the floor. There was a round circle of blood at the end of the urine. I'm not sure which one did it.

I suspect it might be the youngest because he has a tendency to follow me around. He is almost 1 and 1/2 years old and the urine was in the path I was walking. There is also a mixed golden retriever in the house that is very old. I got a cloth and wiped all the dogs at the bottom but could not tell which one did it. I don't have a vet here and by the time I get home my vet will be closed.

Is there anything I can do until I can get him to a vet. I'm afraid I won't be able to see a vet until Monday.

Mild symptoms can include fever, frequent urination and increased or decreased appetite. The one time passing of streaks of blood in dog urine during travel, separation or grief are not of major concern, but, it represents weakened physiology and immune status of body.
