a poodle peeing blood, is it very bad?

18 14:55:10

Question
our poodle peed on the the floor this morning and he never does, and about 10 minutes ago, he peed more blood outside. what could be wrong? is it severe/fatal? what should we do?

Answer
Any dog that is passing blood in the urine needs to see a vet right away. It could be bladder stones, bladder infection, kidney infection, problems with the urethra, etc.

Only a vet can tell you by doing a hands on exam and a urine culture.
So call the vet and get him in as soon as you can.
