Uremia in Dogs and Cats
Uremia is the severe, body-wide poisoning that results when advanced kidney failure lets metabolic wastes build up in the blood. It affects the nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, and blood systems, and is treated by managing the underlying kidney disease and the individual symptoms.
Uterine Torsion in Dogs and Cats
Uterine torsion is twisting of the pregnant uterus around its own axis, usually just before parturition. Affected animals are lethargic, vomit, refuse food, and have dark red eye membranes; surgical untwisting or cesarean and, if the uterus is damaged, ovariohysterectomy are needed.
Pulmonary Hemorrhage in Dogs and Cats: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Pulmonary hemorrhage is bleeding into the lungs from damaged pulmonary vessels, causing cough with bright red, frothy blood. It follows heartworm, tumors, trauma, or infection, and is treated by stopping the bleed and correcting the underlying cause.

Salmonellosis in Dogs and Cats (Paratyphoid): Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

Brachycephalic (Short-Nosed) Syndrome in Dogs: Diagnosis and Treatment
Short-nosed breeds can have several upper-airway abnormalities at once — stenotic nostrils, elongated soft palate, and more — that narrow the airway. Mild cases are managed; severe ones need surgery. Here is how it's diagnosed and treated.
Why Is Your Dog Vomiting?
Vomiting in dogs most often comes from simple indigestion, but it can also signal chronic gastritis, a respiratory infection, or kidney disease. Feed on a steady schedule to avoid over- or under-eating. Watch for red, bloody vomit, which means internal bleeding and needs urgent care.
