Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 43 lbs
I’m a first time dog owner and I’ve got a few concerns about my dog. He is mixed breed, 1.5 years old. He seems to pee when he shouldn’t - one time 2 hours after I took him out, yesterday he peed next to his crate when he was left alone for 2 hours after I took him out right before I left. Should I be concerned? He also has funny breathing patterns (it’s like in, in, out), burps a lot, and had blood on his poo 2 days ago. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid because I’m worried or if its an issue.
