My cat has been dragging her butt “scooting” on the ground and then I noticed increased trips to the litter box with little urination. She has been more vocal lately but still affectionate. I have had her for four years and she has never once peed on anything but within the last week she has been peeing on blankets and today she peed in the bathtub and I noticed her pee was pinkish she even tried to pee on my sleeping brother. I’m fairly certain this is a UTI. However, that doesn’t explain the scooting. Anyone have any suggestions? I am going to make her an appointment tomorrow for the vet. Anyone have any idea what the cost range will be? Also, my roommates have three dogs and two others were visiting for a while. Im worried the scooting could be from worms. Any other ideas? How long before contact would it take for symptoms to occur? Thank you in advance for any help. I’m very worried. Please assure me she isn’t going to die. She’s only four.

My dog is an outdoor dog, the is a labrador retriever. We put skin so soft on her to keep the bugs off but it hasn’t worked very well with all the flooding and extra mosquitoes. She has many bug bites that have swelled up. What can i do to easy the pain of the mosquitoes bites and keep all the other diseases they carry from hurting her. I give her her heart worm pill every month. Is there anything i should be concerned about otherwise? If so what are the symptoms.

Hello,
I just got a 7 week old puppy. She’s a golden retriever lab mix. We brought her to the vet and everything appeared healthy. We brought the poop sample in yesterday to check for worms and we got a phone call this morning saying she had a amoebic worm infectinon. What does this mean? What happens to the puppy now? Will she be ok? What are the symptoms for dogs and humans? How can I tell if it carried over to me? Thank you so much!

well first of all we figured out that our cat has worms. (were getting a vet as soon as possible), we looked up the symptoms of having worms, this has nothing to do with it.
my cat is NOT nocturnal, or at least i think it is. ever morning my cat meows at my door wanting to get out, but she is already fed, i give her TONS of affection. but she just meows away. the earliest she has woken me was about 5 in the morning. the latest was 7.
THEN
when she gets up in the morning i feed her along with my dog, but whenever my cat is playing (or i think she is) se pounces on my dog. but she pounces on EVERYTHING! she also runs everywhere and when i come up on her she runs like crazy under my bed, but she does that because of me. ha
is there anything wrong with my cat?

I think my puppy has parvo but don’t know for sure. On Monday (christmas eve day) I bought some worming medicine for her and my younger puppy. Abby, the sick one, is around 5 months old; and Nina is like 9 wks old. They are both lab mixes. Anyways, since Nina seemed to have a pretty bad case of worms (we just got her less than 2 wks ago) and it seemed like-despite my efforts to cure Abby of worms- she still seemed to have symptoms of worms like being underweight–so I treated them both with worming medicine. Very soon afterward Abby started acting sickly. She is lethargic, has had smellly diarehha, has discharge from her eyes and has been drooling from the mouth.
I thought she was better this mourning (Friday) because shgot up and opted to drink and I thought ate some dog food but she isn’t. I feel horrible but my boyfriend and I are pretty strapped for cash and can not afford some hugh vet bill. What can you tell me. Any advice would be greatly helpful.
