Thanks for responding. She does weigh right around 40-42 pounds. Our vet does have their own ultrasound machine, so that is an easy option without going elsewhere. Hoping for a plain old UTI! Thanks again.
Unless she is less than 45 pounds she should not have had a problem with the chocolate. However, if you have miscalculated the amount of chocolate and she had a bit more than you think she could have some residual theobromine toxicity (chocolate toxin). Urinary tract infections can cause hematuria (blood in the urine). Other causes of blood in the urine are urolithiasis (bladder stones), kidney stones, bladder cancer, or kidney disease, bleeding disorders and others. It is best to take her the vet first thing tomorrow for a urinalysis, X-Ray of the abdomen, and complete blood work.
If she has bladder stones thay would have to be surgically removed. Bladder cancer is sometimes visible on abdominal X-Ray, or ultrasound, and is of course serious.
