My Pug dog, Ray Ray, came running into the house around 2:00 a.m., pacing all night and wanting to go back outside. He is leaking urine, has bruises on both sides of his tummy near his genital area, is not eating, seems to be in pain, and strains to defecate without success. What could be causing this and what should I do?
