Q:

My dog has frequent urination with small amounts recently. And its color seems not right. Can he get bladder cancer?

You’d better take your dog to a vet’s, as he has some of the above symptoms. The vet will conduct some diagnostic exams on your dog. The disease can be detected by ultrasound, X-ray, cystogram, and biopsy.
