MY 7 YR OLD PITT BULL

Question
A FEW TIMES RECENTLY WHEN I HAVE SEEN MY DOGS URINE, IT SEEMS TO HAVE BLOOD IN IT. BUT IT ALSO SEEMS KINDA MILKY AT THE SAME TIME.  DUE TO MONEY PROBLEMS I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD FOR THE VET TO DO A "SERIES OF TESTS" I CAN BARELY AFFORD THE VISIT.  I LOVE MY DOG AND HE HAS BROUGHT ME OUT OF MANY DEPRESSIONS BECAUSE HE LOVES ME UNCONDITIONALLY AND I LOVE HIM TOO.  CAN YOU HELP ME?  

Answer
Your dog needs to see a vet, or you need to at least call your vet and explain what's going on and see what he/she thinks, Yolanda. He could have an infection, which doesn't require a 'series of tests,' as you put it. All the vet should have to do is a urine culture, and then if there IS an infection, you can get meds to treat it. Would you rather your dog suffer?
