Poor Moca! I'm sorry to hear she's having these issues! Bloody urine can indicate an infection, bladder stones, inflammation in the bladder or vagina, and unfortunately sometimes even cancer. Her skin sounds very uncomfortable and could be related to allergy, infection, yeast overgrowth, or a number of other issues. I'd recommend taking Moca to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Her conditions sound quite painful and it is likely she will need some testing and medication to treat. Without an examination it is impossible to say what the underlying issues are so an examination with a veterinarian will be needed to figure out a treatment plan for her. She may need antibiotics and other supportive care. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Coco is on the mend soon!
