dog and possible urinary tract infection

I noticed this morning that Daisy wanted to go out and potty more than usual. She has had a UTI before. She is urinating some blood I can see and has some blood, not alot around the area back there. Daisy is acting normal and is eating and not acting like she is in pain.
I am wondering if this is something that I can wait till tomorrow to call my vet. Thanks

    Daisy is a beagle pointer mix, around 55lbs. I talked to my vet he said not to worry about it today and we will take care of it tomorrow. He suggested tomorrow they will take an x-ray and figure it out. I will also be bringing in an urine sample for them. Thanks everyone for the advice.

    It could also be a bladder stone that is causing the increased urge, and infection. Have your vet check that too. I don't know what kind of dog you have, but the smaller dogs are suspect for this. Can happen with any dog though.

    I wouldn't wait! When Baby and Harlee had it, I took care of it immediately!

    I wouldn't wait.

    Her increased outings for urinating are her way of telling you this feels bad.

    Can you get her RX refilled? I believe I'd call the vet's office/answering service and see if they would call in a scrip for her. That kind of infection can just about drive you nuts until you get something for it. I don't think I'd wait.
