The first thing that comes to mind would be something obvious such as a urinary tract infection. However, the presence of internal parasites should be considered as well.

Usually if there is blood in a goat's urine, not nessisarily just a pygmy, they have either kidney stones or they have an infection. The safest way possible to solve this problem is to go to a vet office. Most vets don't treat goats so you may need a reference or a specialist.

Since there is blood in the females urine, it is more than likely in heat. Lots of female goats will have blood in their urine while in heat.

Very simple, it means that it is time for the pygmy goat to see the vet! There are too many variables. Anything from playing too rough, diet, urinary tract infection can cause blood in urine. Bottom line is that someone with training needs to diagnose it.
