Answer
Hi Colleen

The blood in the pee indicates either a bladder stone or perhaps cystitis. It all depends what medicine the vet gave you for her.

I am not at all sure what the white gooey stuff is.

From what you describe, the problem could be lots of different possibilities. Heat stroke is another possibility regarding the weakness etc.

The best thing you can do is give her plenty of vitamin c, keep her warm, give her love and fluids.

I wish you all the best. Please write back if anything changes.
