So recently over the past 3 days my cat has been acting weird.
He cannot seem to urinate and sometimes there like droplets of red fluid. Now he’s like going anywhere he wants trying to urinate and he can’t seem to. Last night he spent the night in lying in his litterbox and this morning in a cardboard box. He seems so weak & I don’t know what to do. He doesn’t want to eat or drink anything. I just found him foaming at the mouth. :O

Are there any home remedies I can do to help him? And what could of caused this?
My parents don’t want to pay like 0 for a surgery/vet visit or anything.
I don’t know if this helps but my dad sometimes lets him out to explore the backyard on a leash. Plus my mom fed him the leftovers in a tuna fish can. Can overfeeding him also be a factor?

He’s like 2 years old.
This has happened before like a week ago before this. We gave it this medicine we bought from this asian medicine store and he was cured.

Now it’s up again..
-sigh-

I was hoping you wouldn’t say that.
I guess we’re sending it to the humane society so they can take care of it.

My parents aren’t willing to pay for the vet..
Thanks everyone.

I’ll miss my cat.

My dog has been acting depressed and tired lately. We noticed that it seemed he was not making bowl movements (and perhaps urinating) as often. My parents took him to the vet and they said it could be kidney failure so gave us an IV treatment to give to him for a few days. We have to take him back in a few days (Monday the 30th) to see what is progress is.

My question is, what causes kidney failure, what are the various steps of treatment, and how difficult is it for a dog to recover from it?

When we let our dog outside, he stays in the fenced-in back yard unless we take him for walks so I do not see him getting into anti-freeze as a possibility. The only thing we can think of is lately we bathed him with a so-called "natural" shampoo, different from what we usually bathe him in, and bought different kinds of dog cookies. I doubt those caused it.

What are the chances of a dog recovering from kidney failure? Are there any other diseases my dog may have instead of kidney failure
The Vet said it is the early stages of kidney failure. Does that mean that his chances of recovery are greater?
Yes, it is fluid for under the skin.

I’ve just had a "thing" with Dalmatians for quite a while. Recently I have declared my double major in Fire Science and Emergency Medical Science which has only heightened my interest in adding one to my family. I am currently a 19 year old sophomore currently obtaining my degree(s) I work 24 hour shifts at the local EMS, but have 3 days off after each day worked so I have plenty of time to spend with my dog should I get it. When I am working, my mother (Yes, I do still live with my parents but I am in the process of getting my own house) or my girlfriend have agreed to watch it.

I just want to know about them. I know that a large percentage of them are born deaf, and that they need special diets or they will develop kidney stones easier than any other breed. But what I want to know is, are they territorial? Because I also have a purebred female malamute here and she is very nice and loves everyone. Also, are Dalmatians harder to train than other dogs? Would a Dalmatian be a good choice for a firefighter’s additional family dog? If so, she will have a loving home with a big backyard to run in, my mother is a vet tech so she will have all the medical care she needs, and she will have plenty of love and another playmate to run around with.

Also, I know this may sound corny but is it difficult to teach them the infamous, stop drop & roll trick?
