If you have an itchy bottom what could that mean?
There are too many possibilities to list them all. Ranging from hemorrhoids to yeast infections to parasites and beyond. In a large majority of cases of mild itch on or around the anus, it is hemorrhoids.
Try first to wash everything very well but gently with soap and water. Rinse and dry completely. Use a mirror to look at the area. Is there a rash, is there shiny red skin, are there lumps or bumps, are there obvious "pimples"? If you see a rash and/or shiny red skin (especially if there is a yeasty smell - like in bread), try baby rash treatments like A&D ointment or zinc oxide creams. If there are lumps or bumps or "tags" around the ring of the anus, they could be hemorrhoids, you could try hemorrhoid creams or ointments or even plain Vaseline. If there is an open area, bloody area and/or drainage, then you should have it professionally examined. If it looks like pimples or cysts, you may need antibiotics and should contact a health care professional. If it is a mild irritation and you want to try OTC remedies at first, you could describe the symptoms to your pharmacist and they can recommend products that would be best for your symptoms.
Check your stools closely to see if there are obvious parasites, like worms, visible. See a doctor if there are. If you have blood with or in your stools, then contact your doctor right away. If the itchy spot it is above your "crack", a pilonidal cyst is also a possibility, it might drain or throb and swell or be very tender to touch after the itchy stage, if so, see a doctor.
Other possibilities from Answers.com contributors:
It could be Perianal Streptococcal Dermatitis (basically, "Rectal Strep"). A simple swab strep test is required. The strep may reoccur within a couple of months and need retreatment, but probably only once. It's more common in children, but can occur in adults. Many doctors won't immediately recognize it, so insist on the strep test to be sure.
It could be intestinal worms that stay in your digestive system and eat the nutritional things you need. These are often extremely itchy. If you have worms, don't wait to get treatment. An infestation of severe human worms can cause serious health problems, including severe anemia, malnutrition or various infections. If you suspect you have worms, see your doctor. The above systemic signs (anemia malnutrition, etc.) occur in very severe infestations.

Why people usually cough at the same time?
People may cough at the same time due to exposure to the same irritant, such as smoke or dust in the air. Additionally, seeing or hearing someone else coughing can trigger a response in our brain that makes us feel like we need to cough as well. It could also be a coincidence or due to a contagious illness spreading among a group of people.
There are two possible answers to this. First, "dog water" may be "water intended to be used as a drinking source for a dog". This is simply potable drinking water that is set out, generally in a designated bowl or bucket, for a dog to have access to and drink from. Second, "dog water" may be a euphemism for "dog urine", in which cause it is simply the liquid waste excreted from a dog during urination.

Wetlands are shrinking quickly due to human activities such as urban development, agriculture, and drainage for economic purposes. Climate change also plays a role, leading to rising temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns that further accelerate the loss of wetlands. Additionally, pollution and invasive species disrupt wetland ecosystems, making them more vulnerable to degradation and loss.

I think it really depends on the quality of life the dog is having. If it is a happy and thriving dog, there is no reason to put it down. But if it is suffering and unable to fulfill most basic functions, it may be something to consider.
quote from wikipedia: Guyton's Textbook of Medical Physiology states that "the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 liters, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight
see link:
Assuming that humans and dogs have about the same water by weight percentage, a 50 lb dog would have 28.5 lbs of water in his body. Also I think it safe to assume that the water to blood correlation is pretty close to 1:1 as well.
Converting 70kg to pounds gives: 70kg*2.2lbs/kg=154lbs
Converting 40 liters to pints gives: 40L*1.76pints/L=70.4pints UK
So if there are 70.4pints UK per 154lbs how many pints UK per 50lbs?
70.4/154=x/50
solve for x gives 22.86 pints UK of blood in a 50lbs dog.
Fatal blood is between 30-40% fainting would be anything less than this and dependent on a whole lot of another factors.
I am Wolfgang Schwartzschild.
Hopefully this will give you some insight so I don't just get a "take your dog to the vet" comment.
I am writing a book in which one of the characters can shapeshift into a 50 lb dog. She has had her foreleg gored by a boar and the radial artery and cephalic vein have been severed. She has lost consciousness due to blood loss. Another character has found her and had given her a tourniquet. I know that the limb will eventually be lost because of this, but right now I am concerned about the amount of blood a dog has and how much it can lose before losing consciousness or dying.
Please don't just give me a "why arr you asking this about your dog?" comment. She is not my dog. She is a character in a sci-fi novel that is being worked on.
If your answer is sufficient it is very likely that I will try to incorporate your name into the book as a way of thanks.
Thank you for your time.

Vampires are typically nocturnal creatures, so they should go hunting during the night when their powers are strongest and their prey is more vulnerable. Additionally, they should choose times when there are fewer people around to witness their hunting activities to maintain their secrecy.
It's important to refrain from using punitive training methods like rolling up a newspaper, as this can exacerbate fear in dogs. Instead, focus on building the dog's confidence through positive reinforcement training techniques and creating a reassuring environment for the dog. Seek professional help from a certified dog trainer or behaviorist to address the underlying fear issues effectively.
Bleeding during early pregnancy can be a sign of various issues such as implantation bleeding or a potential miscarriage. It's important to contact a healthcare provider for evaluation to determine the cause of the bleeding and ensure the health of both you and the pregnancy. Drinking excessive water may have coincidentally helped with dehydration but does not directly stop bleeding.
