My older dog can’t hold her urine since the day before yesterday, though her earlier constipation has resolved. The pee pad in her bed was soaked overnight and she only dribbles when taken outside—what’s wrong?
An older dog's inability to hold urine may be caused by urinary or reproductive tract diseases such as cystitis, stones, urethral tumors, prostatitis, or neurological conditions. A full veterinary examination is needed to confirm the cause.

After a fall, your dog may have serious internal trauma with poor brain circulation, raised intracranial pressure, local injury, and internal bleeding. This is urgent and needs a full veterinary exam right away.
What causes a cat’s eye to bleed
A bleeding eye may be trauma from a collision or a fight, or diseases like keratitis and conjunctivitis with tearing and discharge. Seek a veterinary exam for symptomatic treatment.
My dog fell in water at eight months old during the 2019 pandemic peak and went untreated, leaving a chronic problem; a vet called it incurable asthma, but after a severe injury last year with internal bleeding it needed three blood transfusions to survive, and now it is worse – what should I do?
From the description alone the dog's condition cannot be judged, so a veterinary exam of the respiratory and cardiac systems is needed to find the cause of the rapid breathing. Because the dog is having difficulty breathing with a risk of suffocation, prompt treatment matters.

My Cat Is Peeing Blood; the Vet Says a Urinary Tract Infection, but Medication Hasn’t Helped. What’s Going On?
Frequent urination and blood in the urine are usually caused by urinary tract disease, including cystitis, stones, crystals, or infection. A veterinary exam such as ultrasound and bloodwork is needed to find the exact cause and treat it accordingly.
What causes a hard lump on a dog’s neck?
A hard lump on a dog's neck can be caused by various issues, including poor drug absorption after injection, swollen lymph nodes, sarcoidosis, gland swelling, and thyroid disease. If the dog was recently injected, consider whether poor absorption of the medication caused the lump; such injection-site bumps usually disappear on their own after a few days. If this is ruled out, the lump is likely disease-related — for example, swollen lymph nodes cause a neck lump and require prompt veterinary examination to determine the cause and provide targeted treatment.
My 4-month-old cat sneezes and has a blocked nose since coming home — what’s wrong?
Sneezing and nasal congestion in cats are usually caused by respiratory infections, allergies, or viral diseases. Check the environment for irritants or allergens; if allergic, remove the source and give an anti-allergy shot. If the cat is unvaccinated, also consider herpes or calicivirus infection, which is serious and requires prompt veterinary examination and treatment.
