Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Possible conditions that Muñeca could have include pneumonia, congestive heart failure, bronchitis, among many other possibilities. What should be done for it treatment wise will depend on what the cause is. For this reason, I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. At that time your veterinarian could also check her urine and blood to see what may be wrong with her inappropriate urination. There is no good at home treatments for any of the possible conditions she may have. Good luck!
