Cat urinating on bed
My cat (10mo male neutered domestic short haired cat) acts out by urinating on my bed during times he is unhappy with me or the his situation. For example, when I have guests ( I do frequently) he usually urinates on my bed . I recently took a 5 day trip ( he was very well cared for when i was gone) and he peed on my bed 6 different times. My question is this : how do I control this behaviour? I can not keep him out of my room since I live in an apartment with no doors and any how even if I did figure out how to keep him away from the bed I feel like he would just pick another spot to urinate. My vet has suggested kitty porzac but really, I would only like to use this as a very last resort. I keep the litter box clean and he knows how to use it. He lives indoors and outdoors since the apartment is small he seems to get pent up when I keep him indoors all the time .
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks , I am really struggling with this. I will soon have to throw all my bedding away.
P.S. I recently purchased and cleaned my sheets with the special animal stain cleaning product with enzymes.

Dog with black spot on tongue
4 months ago our dog (9mo female neutered Siberian Husky) chewed through and extension cord and we took her to the vet. She had a tooth pulled because of this and a huge section of the side of her tongue fell off, she was on antibiotics and everything seemed to heal 100% according to the vet.
About 3 weeks ago she was spayed and a week after the surgery she’s developed a small black dot that it right on the inside of the chip in her tongue, exactly where the previous injury was. It seems to have gotten larger in the past 2 weeks and it seems like it must be related to the original injury because it’s exactly on the healed part of her tongue. Her behavior and eating habits are normal, and it doesnt seem to hurt when we press on it. Please let us know what this may be a sign of.

Dog gagging and coughing
I have a 14 mo choc lab, female. last night before bed she gagged a couple times, was fine during the night and then today has gagged here and there. its as if she has something stuck in her throat, like a hair. she HAS been licking herself a lot lately and i know when i do brush her i get lots of hair so i’m thinking its probably hair. she is eating and drinking fine and seems fine. now i called the emerg vet and they said all they could say was to bring her in. i don’t think its necessary. my question is- wouldn’t i have some clue she was bleeding internally if that was the problem. she has been perfectly healthy and has not had anything hard recently. we gave her a pig ear on thursday night, thats it. please tell me what you think.
