My dog has been peeing blood all day. It wasn’t that dark at first but as the day went on the blood got darker. She also hasn’t been as active today like she usually is. When I tried to walk her she didn’t want to go outside, she’s usually really excited to go outside. Wagging her tail and jumping up and down she wasn’t doing none of that. I’m extremely worried, please help us

I'm truly sorry to hear about your dog's condition. Blood in the urine, especially when it becomes darker, can indicate a serious issue such as a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or even more severe conditions like a tumor or trauma. Her decreased activity and reluctance to go outside are also concerning signs that she might be experiencing pain or discomfort.

Given the severity of her symptoms and the presence of blood, I strongly recommend taking her to a veterinarian immediately. The vet will be able to perform necessary tests, such as a urinalysis and possibly imaging, to determine the cause of the bleeding and provide the appropriate treatment.

In the meantime, try to keep her comfortable and ensure she has access to fresh water. Avoid any strenuous activity until you can get her to the vet.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
