Yesterday swallowed an elastic string about 15-20 cm, fairly thick; eating normally, but this morning it could not defecate in the litter box
Inability to pass stool after swallowing a string suggests intestinal blockage; a 15-20 cm elastic string is hard to pass. Give water with probiotics and see a vet within 48 hours if not passed.
For a week my dog sleeps halfway then scratches the floor and whimpers; pet store said heat since not spayed. Yesterday vulva bled milky white, thought period, but today no bleeding. Never happened before.
Swollen genitals and larger nipples indicate the dog is in heat; light bleeding is normal and varies individually. Keep clean and observe; foul-smelling white discharge may mean pyometra.
Cat frequents the litter box, produces little urine, and has blood in the urine
Frequent urination with little output and blood is a classic sign of urinary blockage, possibly from bladder stones, urinary tract stones, infection, idiopathic cystitis, or tumors. If the bladder is very full, seek veterinary care for catheterization and fluids.
What causes lumps on a dog’s back
From the photo the lumps may be lipomas or sebaceous adenomas. Have a vet check the type and whether benign or malignant; benign ones can be locally removed, malignant ones need surgery, chemo, or palliative care.
What medicine for a dog’s urethral stones
Small urethral stones can be passed with prescription ureter-dilating drugs under vet guidance; large stones need surgery. Don't medicate blindly; adjust the diet since stones often come from excess minerals and low water intake.
After a month of bladder-stone medicine, will smaller stones rub the bladder more and cause more blood in urine
Treatment depends on stone type; some can't be dissolved by medicine. Large or numerous stones need surgery. Stones always irritate the bladder and cause hematuria. With medical treatment, control inflammation and push water; recheck weekly. If no improvement, consider surgery to avoid blockage or kidney failure.
My cat has a deep wound and bled in the morning; no vets in the village, please check for foreign objects and how to treat
From the photo the wound is deep; seek surgical cleaning, disinfection, and suturing at a vet. If that's impossible, keep it clean with a collar and limit movement, though healing isn't guaranteed.
I have a male and female cat; female in heat mated, maybe pregnant, but I don’t want kittens; spay within 15 days
Spaying before finishing vaccines is risky; immunity drops and illness may occur without antibodies. Spaying during pregnancy is also risky. If must spay, use a proper veterinary hospital to minimize risk.
My dog was stolen by dog traffickers, came back skinny with a leg bone exposed; I’m far from the city, no car
If the leg is injured with exposed bone, take it to a vet for debridement and bandaging plus X-ray for fractures; fix externally or surgically as needed. Deep wounds usually need anesthesia to remove dead tissue and prevent infection while new skin grows.
My dog’s corneal ulcer is much better but the eye looks cloudy and dimmer than the other – what now?
If a corneal ulcer improves with medication, continue corneal-repair drops or artificial tears. If progress stalls, see a vet, as some ulcers need minor surgery to remove dead tissue.
