Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 6 years and 5 months old | 80 lbs
Hey I’m having a very difficult time understanding what is wrong with my male English Bulldog 6 years of age. He is moaning in pain from last night he can not pee when he goes out try’s very hard but nothing is coming out. In the morning or threw out the day we are finding small pee marks around the house. We live in Florida so the ac is blasting most of the time we have tile floors he’s new to the environment we just moved. He may have a cold he is sneezing and diarrhea. He is in pain.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Zeus. He needs to see his veterinarian if his is struggling to urinate. There are several things that can cause this in a male dog. He could be experiencing a blockage caused by a bladder stone that has slipped into his urethra. This can become very serious if the stone is not removed and is painful. I see that he is not neutered. Intact male dogs experience growth of their prostate as they age. If the prostate gets large enough, it can interfere with the dog's ability to urinate. Lastly, he could have a growth in the bladder or even severe inflammation in his urinary tract causing him to strain to urinate. Regardless of the cause, he will need medical attention. I hope this information helps!
