Hit by a car, butt is swollen and red, blood in the urine
Blood in the urine after a dog is hit by a car is very likely an internal injury, such as rupture and bleeding of the bladder, spleen, or other internal organs. Severe internal bleeding can cause abdominal fluid buildup and peritonitis, and without prompt treatment can be fatal, so take the dog to a veterinary clinic promptly for an ultrasound. If the exam shows only lower urinary tract bleeding, you can give the dog appropriate anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and bladder-mucosa repair medications such as amoxicillin clavulanate, etamsylate, carbazochrome, or sucralfate. The specific medication depends on the exam results; the owner must not self-medicate.
No urination for over 24 hours, keeps licking the area, vulva swollen for a week (thought it was heat since she’s 8 months); one or two bowel movements a day, appetite okay, but low spirits
No urine for over 24 hours may be urinary blockage. If the bladder is full, get microscopy and urinalysis at a vet to tell infection from stone, then catheterize and treat. If the bladder isn't full, heat-related low water, hormone upset, or stress may be the cause — soothe her and encourage drinking; if still no urine, see a vet.
The area around its private parts is raw, the surrounding fur is all gone, and there’s a lump inside; the body is losing fur in patches.
From the photo, the raw, bald skin around the genitals is mainly from bacterial infection—clean and treat the area. Also watch for pyometra (uterine infection). See a vet if possible; if not, clean with saline, give oral and topical anti-inflammatories, and use an E-collar, then watch for improvement.
Hello, my dog suddenly lay on the ground with its hind legs twitching, and the sides of its belly also twitched; it wouldn’t get up or respond when called, and it vomited. What’s going on?
Sudden convulsions and vomiting mainly point to poisoning, distemper complications, epilepsy, nerve damage, or brain parasite infection. Once the convulsions ease, take it to a vet for cause-based treatment. If it had distemper before, it's likely a distemper aftereffect.
What happens if a dog is beaten and suffers internal injuries?
Internal injury may show painful whining, reluctance to move, tenderness at the spot, and appetite loss. Organ damage can cause bloody stool or urine; nerve damage may bring confusion, incontinence, seizures, paralysis. See a vet for blood tests, imaging, and neuro exams, then treat per results.
What should I do if chicks can’t walk and won’t eat?
Difficulty walking and not eating in chicks can be from colds, coccidiosis, or colibacillosis. Poor coop insulation or ventilation in temperature swings causes colds; coccidiosis shows poor appetite, closed eyes, chills, and thinness; colibacillosis causes lethargy and breathing trouble. Find the cause first, then use vet-prescribed medication.
What anti-inflammatory to give a dog with patellar luxation?
Mild cases can take pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory with joint supplements; severe cases need surgery. An X-ray helps grade the luxation.
What causes infertility in dogs?
Dog infertility mainly falls into two categories: failed fertilization and early embryonic death. A veterinary check-up before breeding is strongly recommended.
Alopecia, hair loss, skin turning black, hard, thick; bumps, red, bleeding, oozing
The photo shows skin disease with large-area keratin damage, likely fungal or mite infection. Get a pro skin exam and scrapings; for mites, deworm and medicated bath. Keep the environment dry.
Why does a dog lose appetite after giving birth?
Post-birth tension and unease can suppress appetite temporarily, and labor pain also reduces it; both usually pass. But postpartum complications like endometritis, prolapse, or other issues can also cut appetite, so see a vet if it lasts long.
