I can see the stress part because, as I said, Ein hasn't been the least bit calm since we got him home, but I'm not quite understanding how that leads to a bladder infection.
Also, my fiance pointed out as we were leaving the vet's office that there were other bloody urine spots in the snow outside the office that weren't from Ein. Don't know if that means anything, but that kind of irked me nonetheless.
Depending on the UA results, I may take Ein to another vet for a second opinion. I can't find anything online linking stress and bladder infections.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the bloody spots in the snow. Dogs bleed for verious reasons, it is a vet hospital after all. People pick up their dogs take them out and the dog go potty. Maybe some of those spots were dripped from a dog coming into the clinic with a cut.
If you were worried about them you should have asked the recpitionist.
