Why is my female dog bleeding, swollen, and acting aggressive?

No, this is not normal. LuLu may have a uterine infection which can be life threatening. You need to have her examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Drinking and urinating more than usual and appearing quieter than usual would also be signs consistent with an infection. The veterinarian will give her a thorough exam, blood tests and possibly take an x-ray to visualize her uterus. Should LuLu get lethargic you need to take her to an emergency clinic.

I am very concerned about a possible pyometra in your dog which is an infection in the uterus. This can be potentially life threatening and Alaska needs to be seen by a vet right away. If she does have a pyometra she will need surgery. Good luck!

If Molly is not spayed, I would have her examined by a vet ASAP. It is possible there are issues such as a urinary infection, pyometra (infection of the uterus), prolapse (if things are protruding) or even additional issues such as parasites trying to bury in the skin. Since there is also blood present, it'd be best to have her checked out. Other signs to look out for include lethargy, fever, changes in eating or drinking, additional discharge, increased urination, and cloudy/bloody urine.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sasha. I recommend that she sees an emergency veterinarian as soon as possible. Based on her profile, she has not been spayed. Drinking an excessive amount of water can be a sign of a uterine infection. The veterinarian will examine her and likely recommend testing such as blood work and x-rays of her belly. Based on this information, treatment can be started. If it is a uterine infection, then surgery is typically needed as soon as possible. Of course, she could have another issue. Her exam finding will guide the veterinarian. I recommend seeking care as soon as possible. I hope this information helps.

These signs are quite concerning as they could be compatible with a infection of the uterus called pyometra. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

Tootsie may have a uterine infection called pyometra. This type of infection can become very serious, causing secondary complications like sepsis, low blood pressure and even death. Tootsie should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible as catching this type of infection earlier rather than later is key to preventing those secondary issues from occurring.

Many mammary tumours shrink temporarily after antibiotics as they often become infected in the centre, intact bitches can also develop mastitis which responds to antibiotics also. I would be concerned the bloodied discharge could be related to a womb infection and would recommend an ultrasound to rule this out. Bleeding around the eye is a warning flag for lymphoma but can occur secondary to many inflammatory conditions, referral to an ophthalmologist would be worthwhile in order to explore all avenues
