My 14 year old Yorkie, who was recently to a vet for a checkup, of which all his blood tests came back good. He starting having diarehha 2 days ago, which has passed, but now i notice he is having a hard time urininating and the urine has a red color to it.

Sounds like a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), however I am not a vet. I would get him to a Vet quickly, and not the Vet you used before. The first thing tested for blood in the urine should have been the urine itself not the blood. Looking for bacteria or other abnormalities in the urine because of blood seems like common sense. A cold or flu should produce loss of appetite, sneezing, nasal discharge, etc. NOT bloody urine. Go now...to the Vet!

It could be a number of possibilities, especially in an older dog; the most common being associated with a lower UTI infection. But there are more serious conditions that have the same signs. Best thing is to see your vet. First thing to do is rule out any obstruction, like a stone, run a U/A and if there a no answers there, might have to do a urine culture and radiographs. It's good that your going today; the sooner the better b/c problems like this don't get better on there on.

Sounds like a urinary tract infection. This will need meds as it won't go away on its own. If left untreated,your pup will lose control over its urinating and be in much pain.
