I have a dog her name is jecica and she has been coghing up blood what should i do?


Answers:
I would think the presence of blood tells you what to do. It may not be an emergency but a professional needs to see the pet. No one can tell you anything here without seeing the pet.
TAKE HER TO THE VET A.S.A.P.!!!!! sry bout that...
take it to the vet. was she coughing for a while before there was blood? it might just be something as simple as really bad kennel cough and the lungs are just irritated.
Well... If I were to see a dog coughing up blood.. I would be concerned.. I would think either something was very wrong, or she had gotten something stuck in her throat... Then I would think ... You know what, this sounds like a job for Super Vet! He knows what to do... Then I would be out the door and on my way and with his super powers, he could fix my dog.. You should do the same thing.
call a vet, your dog could have an ulcer, or swallowed something that cut her digestive tract, either way you need to seek help soon
check out the answers in the question Bringing up blood below yours.
Well I would think this is a no brainier! Get the dog to the vets. She may have a ulcer of a obstruction in the throat or many other things.
Your vet needs to see her right away.
Coughing up blood can be deadly and should be treated as an emergency. Get the dog tot he vet ASAP!! Good Luck.
There is only 1 responsible thing to do right now,... take her to your vet. How long has this been going on? What is her age? Does she have a heart condition? What does she eat? Where does she live? Has she been exposed to a bordetella virus? Has she ever been dewormed? Does she swim in rivers, lakes or ponds? Probably the most important question for your sake is, How far are you able/can you afford to investigate this? Your vet may want to do bloodwork, radiographs, a fecal, or an Echocardiogram or ECG, place her in hospital on IV fluids. In an ideal world, there would be federally funded pet health, but since there is not, you will have to decide how much you can spend. It is a sad question, but if you cannot afford to find out or fix her, then perhaps you may need to consider putting her down. I would strongly suggest having a vet take a look at her first, don't let her life go for fear of what it will cost, find out first! Good luck, and I hope she gets better.
Just so you get an idea,... here are some things it 'could' be (there is no way for me to know what it is, only a vet who has actually seen her can tell you that)
-cardiac complications
-heartworm
-bordetella
-lungworm
-IMHA
-collapsed Lung
-cancer
-severe pancreatitis
please let a veterinarian help you to help her.
Get off the computer and get her to the vet. It may not be serious but it is better safe than sorry.
oh my. BRING HER TO SEE A VET! since she's coughing out blood you should seek professional help and see what's wrong with her. get help asap , the earlier the better! the vet would tell you should do after examining jecica. go now!
