Sr dog peeing in the house

    Follow up-

    Okay, I thought this might be useful for somebody. I took Digital to Dr Jim, our wonderful holistic vet, and Diggie is now on ginsing. Dr Jim was encouraging and thought this (or a different herb) would help. Otherwise, he couldn't find anything even remotely off with my brindlewonderkid. So, we'll see. I hope this helps b/c I really can't see Diggie going out every two hours when winter comes to Colorado.

    Interesting - I have a senior fanconi dog that is peeing in the house as well. What is the Ginsing supposed to be for?

    I'm not exactly sure as this was a while ago. And last July he was diagnosed as having kidney failure (nonFanconi).

    I'm not exactly sure as this was a while ago and it did not work. And last July he was diagnosed as having kidney failure (nonFanconi). So, i have lots of pee pads where he likes to pee. Sometimes he misses. Sometimes his front feet are on the pad, sometimes just his back feet, and the pee stream misses the pad. I just do what I can and do lots of cleaning. I like the Fizzion brand for clean up. (got it off amazon.)

    Fizzion - never heard of it, I'll have to check it out.

    Do you have him crated when you are not home? Do you have pee pads in his crate with him or how do you manage his need to pee frequently when you are not home?

    i do not crate him. just have the pee pads where he likes to pee. he always has hated being crated and at 16, i'm not going to. I do have 1/2 the hall way blocked off, so he has the den, the kitchen and 1/2 the hall when we're out. Of course we're also looking to scrap this house and build sometime in the near future, so i don't really care too much about the carpets here. if i did, i think i'd try an xpen or limit his area even more. and i don't have 2 legged kids.

    I have noticed my female besingi mix (18months) of age becoming more and more agressively towards me, children, and other dogs. She is very well socialized however she is becoming more dominant, wanting to nip at faces agressively when playing with dogs who too want to attack playfully at the face. However, she has become very aggressively to mommy when trying to keep her outside while I vacuum and she absolutely hates the vaccum and having the door shut closing her off from me. SHe tried to bite my arm (very agressive face with fangs out and fur up) last week and I had to use a broom in order to shut the door. Additionally, she snarls at children. Khloe and I are the only 2 in my household, so no kids and no one else. Only few friends and neighbors stop by but lately she is getting even more aggressive towards them, even if she knows them. I do not know what to do. We were kicked out of puppy training when she was 4 months old b/c she has severe leash aggression. She does work well with a clicker, but I dont always have the clicker on me. My vet today told me to come on here to see if you guys could potentially help or lead me to the right direction of contacting an animal behavioralist. He stated Khloe will only get worse if nothing is done. Additionally, I do not spank Khloe, I only use a clicker, but obviously does not show her that I am the dominant one. SHe also demands all of my time to the light up laser for hours on end and will not give up. Please help! Vonda

    Alfie is now 10 months old and still as naughty as hell. Yesterday evening, he was kept in the hall as the covers that we normally put over the leather sofa were being cleaned. This was not to his liking so he promptly found a way into my Son's bedroom and pee'd all over his bed. This is about the fifth or sixth time he's done this. Not impressed!!

    @dcmclcm4: Sorry, I did not know the dog came from Carol Ann and is a full af. My second response is automatically the Fanconi health issue and testing. I hope she gets better soon and no longer has a temperature. For Bs with an unknown background, I recommend urine strip testing starting at two since there have been affecteds showing symptoms at three. I do this for all of my rescues but I also do the DNA test. That would have been mine also….. about testing for Fanconi..but I remembered that she came from Carol Ann............

    My son has been afraid of animals his entire life. We didn't know it until we were visiting a friend when he was 1 year old and their cat WALKED across the room. He freaked out. From that point on he was afraid of any live animal, but loved stuffed animals. He is 6 now and we just got an 8 week old Basenji. We talked about it alot, (he has slowly gotten used to our friend's cat, but every time the animal made a sudden move he jolted). He was excited to get the puppy, and we sat with him while he got used to exactly what the puppy would do. It has only been 2 months and my son is so good with our dog that he is not afraid of the dogs across the street who are high strung little fluffy things that always sent him runnning and screaming into the house. When I asked him about it he said he wasn't afraid now because he had one now. We waited to get a dog until both of our kids were older and could handle some responsibility. It was the best decision we made. He is still uncomforable around large dogs and other large animals, but has made remarkable progress. I don't know how your nephew will respond, but as he gets older he may realize that he has some control over the animals and that may help. Good luck!!!
