⁰Ally has been having very bad smelling urine for a while, she has been very lethargic for the last couple months and I've noticed sores for no reason and dark spots developing on the skin, she makes strange noises when she breathes while sleeping but the last couple days it sounds like she's gasping, she's overweight but has been slimming down until yesterday where she looks really big again and her stomach is hard, I think she's retaining fluid. She's old so I hadn't been worried until l
I noticed how bloated she has become today
I'm truly sorry to hear about Ally's condition. Based on the symptoms you've described—bad-smelling urine, lethargy, unexplained sores, dark spots on the skin, strange breathing noises, bloating, and a hard stomach—there are several serious health issues that could be affecting her.
The bad-smelling urine might indicate a urinary tract infection or kidney problems. Lethargy and sores could suggest an underlying systemic infection or an immune disorder. The dark spots on her skin might be related to a skin condition or internal issues. The strange breathing noises and gasping could be signs of respiratory or cardiac problems. The sudden bloating and hard stomach are particularly concerning and could indicate fluid retention, which is often associated with heart failure, liver disease, or a severe infection.
Given the severity and combination of these symptoms, I strongly recommend taking Ally to a veterinarian immediately. These signs suggest that she may be in significant distress and could require urgent medical attention. The vet will be able to perform a thorough examination, run necessary tests, and provide the appropriate treatment to help Ally.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
