My dog is a male; yellow-green pus is dripping from his genitals. What medication should I use?
Yellow-green purulent discharge from a dog's genitals may be caused by urethritis, a urinary tract infection, or other inflammation of the urinary system. It is recommended to take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination to confirm the cause and give targeted treatment. Pus from the urethral opening means the dog may have a suppurative urinary infection; if not treated promptly, as the condition progresses it can affect the whole body and lead to sepsis. If it is a female dog with yellow-green genital discharge, reproductive-system issues should also be considered.
My 7-month-old male cat—not sure if in heat—constantly secretes coin-sized white sticky fluid from the urethra above the testicles, with a foul smell. Disease or heat? No spraying or mounting.
White sticky urethral discharge with foul smell may be from urinary disease or normal heat reaction; observe urination or get a urinary exam. Possible causes: urethritis, urethral stones, or other urinary diseases like FIC, bacterial cystitis, or tumors. Watch for difficult/frequent urination, urgency, dribbling, blood, or blockage; give more water/wet food; see a vet if abnormal.
My Cat Has Been Using the Litter Box Frequently the Last Two Days, Sometimes Producing Nothing, with Little Volume, Crouching a Long Time, and Licking Its Bottom
Frequent litter-box trips with little urine likely signal a urinary issue such as idiopathic cystitis, urethritis, urethral spasm, stones, or blockage, often from strong stress or low water intake. If the cat cannot urinate, seek urgent vet care.
Cat Frequent Urination with Small Volume: Causes and Medication
Frequent, small-volume urination in cats is usually a urinary-tract problem — urethritis, cystitis or urolithiasis. Start with a diuretic and a pet-safe anti-inflammatory to ease pain and infection, encourage water intake, and if there is no improvement see a vet to rule out stones blocking the urethra.
Causes and Solutions for Blood in Cat Urine
Blood in a cat's urine most often points to a problem in the urinary tract—such as cystitis, urethritis, or bladder stones—but it can also come from diet, heat cycles, food poisoning, or a dirty litter box. Treatment ranges from urinary-support supplements and veterinary care for stones, to diet adjustments, hydration, spaying after heat, and prompt hospital visits for severe poisoning.
My female cat has urethral bleeding and two fleshy translucent masses – what organ and what disease?
First distinguish whether blood comes from the urethra or vagina. Urethral bleeding suggests urethritis, bladder stones, or bacterial cystitis. If an unspayed cat urinates normally, blood may come from the vagina or uterus, such as vaginitis, pyometra, or fibroids. See a vet for imaging and blood tests; surgery may be needed.
How Long for a Dog’s Urethritis to Heal?
With active treatment, canine urethritis improves in 1 to 3 weeks. Start with anti-inflammation; if urination is hard, use a catheter and ultrasound for stones or clots.
What happens if I don’t give my cat water?
No water causes constipation, heat, dark and scanty urine, and in summer dehydration and heatstroke that can be fatal. Long-term low intake causes urinary disease like cystitis, urethritis, stones, nephritis or kidney failure.
What happens if a cat does not urinate?
A cat that cannot urinate may have urinary disease, and prolonged retention can stretch the bladder and even cause rupture or kidney failure. See a vet promptly and ensure adequate daily water intake.
What are the early symptoms of urinary blockage in cats?
Early urinary blockage shows as frequent urination, small volume, dribbling, painful urination and irritability, possibly progressing to blood in urine and complete inability to urinate. A vet visit is needed for diagnosis and treatment.
