My dog has been straining for a while but nothing is coming out. How long should I wait?

Do not wait. Straining to give birth with no fetus delivered for a long time, or an overly long interval between deliveries, is dystocia and an emergency; brachycephalic breeds carry the highest risk. Record the time straining started, whether a fetus or part of the fetal membranes is showing, and the colour of any discharge, then seek care immediately.

My parrot keeps crouching and straining but cannot pass the egg. What should I do?

This is egg binding and it is an emergency; it can occur in parrots, finches, pigeons, backyard chickens and in aquatic turtles, tortoises and lizards. Record how long the straining has lasted, whether the egg can be felt and where, and changes in alertness and activity, then seek care immediately.

My unspayed female cat or dog has started spraying. Is this a behaviour problem or illness?

Simple oestrus behaviour is usually mild. However, if spraying comes with increased drinking and urination plus dullness, think of pyometra first and a veterinary visit is needed. Record whether the behaviour follows a cycle, and whether other urinary or appetite signs appear at the same time.

This record notes the source location and content hash of "Symptom Triage｜Reproduction-Related", so the text can be checked against the original.

How to use this record to verify

This record exists so that anyone can check for themselves whether the text has been altered. Every chapter of the veterinary encyclopaedia carries a starting line number and a content hash (the first 16 characters of its SHA-256). Recompute the hash over the original chapter: if it matches the value recorded below, what is published here is identical to the source chapter. The source list at the end is the authoritative material cited by that chapter — a chapter-level correspondence, meaning those sources underpin the chapter as a whole rather than mapping sentence by sentence. This is educational information and cannot replace a practising veterinarian; in an emergency, seek care immediately.

This record notes the source location of "Symptom Triage｜Reproduction-Related | Evidence chain": the section beginning at line 116 of `30-索引-症狀鑑別.md` in the veterinary encyclopaedia. The SHA-256 of that section (first 16 characters) is `eb2ca877095e6f80`, which anyone can recompute to confirm the content has not been altered.
