Symptoms for Three Days: Started with Foaming at the Mouth, Now Lethargic, Vomiting, and Diarrhea

Started licking its anus frequently a month ago, then began urinating randomly with occasional blood, and now has been bleeding continuously since today, also vomiting and crying in pain when picked up
