My 13-month-old spayed dog has blood in her urine, appeared to strain while urinating, and had bright red blood droplets in her urine twice within the last hour. She has been somewhat lethargic and constipated for several days, but her stool returned to semi-normal today. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Our dog, Mina, is experiencing discomfort with a sensitive abdomen, excessive butt licking, and panting. She is 3 years old and recently had difficulty pooping during her walk. What could be causing her discomfort and what steps can we take to alleviate it?

My dog, Zorro, a 7-year-old pug cross beagle, has been breathing very fast and panting occasionally since this afternoon. He is not coughing but is gagging. He is lying down a lot and burying himself under blankets, with his head and neck out to the front. His gums are pink, and he has no known medical problems or medications. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

My dog, Bailey, age 5, started urinating blood yesterday. She seems more tired than usual, is not eating much, and the blood is actually dripping from her rather than being in her urine. She recently moved to a new environment as an emotional support dog. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My dog, Rosie, a golden retriever around 6 or 7 years old, hasn’t been eating, is breathing fast with wheezing, has swollen lymph nodes, and a high temperature of 103°F. She’s lethargic, not playing with our other dog, and seems to have difficulty swallowing. What could be wrong, and what should I do?
