Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Low urine output and blood in urine, along with other symptoms are indicative of kidney dysfunction. It might be going in for failure and hence needs hospitalization for further management. Kindly admit her to a hospital having facility to take care of kidney related issues, so that proper evaluation can be done and managed accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
