Does my dog have kidney disease?

robinmojo asked:
My 8 year german shepherd has just recently started to pee a little on her bed and the fresh pee smells strongly of ammonia. Could it be kidney disease? I am taking her to the vet but I would like some info so I can know what to expect.
Also I noticed a drop of blood on the floor this morning. So I think her heat has started. She seems a little down which is normal if she’s in heat. I wonder if those small wets spots on her bed were some kind of vaginal discharge and not pee at all. Though she’s never had that before with any heat. Also she doesn’t seem to be in any pain and she very playful and running around as usual.

Doesn’t necessarily mean kidney disease. Could be a bladder or kidney infection.Could be a problem with her blood chemistries. Could be dehydration. Make sure that she is drinking enough water.
