Help Finding Explicit Solution Non Linear Differential Equation

Hello!
I am wondering if anyone has any advice to try to find an explicit solution for the following non-linear differential equation system:
Where a, b, c and d are constants.
With x(t) y(t).
I have been trying to use 'dsolve', and I am getting 'Warning: Unable to find explicit solution'
Is there any method to try to arrange these equations to find an explicit solution? Or define some constrains in the solver to find a solution for some restricted domain?
Any tips/help are really apreciated!
Thanks

There is no assurance that ever nonlinear differential equatino you may choose to pose has an analytical solution. In fact, I not that just as the symbolic tolbox fails to find a solution, mathematica also seems stumped by it.
Do you have a domein of interest? Do you have known values for the constants? If so, then you can use a numerical solver, like ODE45. That should be fairly simple, as long as you do not pass through a singularity at y==0.
