Here are some tips to tell if your pet is sick.
Inability to urinate is an emergency, get your pet to the vet immediately!

What if your dog has a dry, bald spot?
By Jasmine M.
If your dog has dry spots in just one place, or even two places, then he could have mange or allergies. Wait for a week or two and if it either doesn't go away or starts to bother him/her, I would suggest you go to the vet and get something to make it go away and stop hurting or bothering her/him.
Is Beneful dog food being recalled? My dog is very sick after eating it, puking, diarrhea, bad smelly gas. and vomiting.
By Gen M
This is an emergency. Vet---NOW. If he dehydrates he could die. Could be the food, could be parvo.
Agree with Muttmom! Cannot wait! ER Pet hospital! If doc rules out parvo, then there's things I would do.
I am here again to ask question about my cats. This morning my cat seems not to eat, or maybe he is bored of the same wet food I am feeding her. She seems just to sleep, since last night. How would I know if she is not feeling well or she is sick?
If your cat continues to not eat, then call the vet.
Cats are like that...with not eating and sleeping a lot. Now if they don't eat or drink anything or stop pooping or peeing for more than a two or three, it is best to take the kitty to the vet.
You may want to try a special treat (the kitties I sit for get human baby food as treat--the small jars of junior food--usually a chicken or a ham--and that usually restarts their eating.
The most important thing is to watch the little box--as excessive pee or NO pee can mean a problem. Poops can be fewer if they are not eating, but NO poop for more than 2-3 days could also be of concern.
Post back with an update. Prayers for all!!
well I think that maybe your cat depending on its age has gotten old or if its young I would either try new cat food or call a vet because imagine having to eat your least favorite food every day like gooey spinach and maybe to help it become more energetic give it some catnip but I say take it to the vet mainly
My dog has been bleeding from the nose. He sneezes often. What is wrong?
By Anna
Problem could be from many things and could be serious if bleeding from the nose. Please take your dog to a vet for help. There is nothing you can do at home.
You need to see a Vet, and right away.
The lungs may be the origin of the bleeding. He needs a vet asap.
Sounds like nasal obstruction or nasal cancer. See vet.
My 7 month old rednose American Pit won't eat. It is moving slow, but will drink water. It has also thrown up.
Please - when a young puppy changes his normal habits it's time to consult a vet especially when a normal pup does not eat and starts throwing up.
I'm sorry to hear that your puppy is not feeling well. It is good that the pup is able to drink. Parvo could be the culprit. If a pup loses energy, and acts as your pup is doing, I would immediately make an appointment to see the vet.
If you cannot afford to see the vet, I would cover all of the bases, by buying Fish Mox, which is an antibiotic that you can buy at Pet Smart or on Amazon. The dosage for a dog, in general is 5 to 10 milligrams per pound of dog, and I would give it once per day.
If it is parvo, the pup will need support to stay hydrated. It all depends on the pups strength and its immune system.
I would give it a bit of corn syrup, to help it feel better. Just put some on a little spoon and let the puppy lick it off.
I wish you the best, whatever it is, and that your puppy heals very soon.
This sounds like the dog has parvo and it could be very dangerous. This is a sickness that a lot of dogs have and it can kill the dog if not treated. I would not take any chances with your dog and the health of your animal. I know that with Covid it is harder to see a vet but this is a must right now.
