  • So Dallas has peed 7 times since I have been home from work, only an hour and a half! I take him outside, he pees. Then five minutes after being inside he pees again! He has peed in his crate, on the sofa, on the guest bed, in the kitchen & then the rest outside. The ones in the house anyway have been generous size pees too not just drippings…

    During this time I have been watching him & he has not been drinking too much water so I don't even know how he has that much pee in him!

    Should I be concerned?

  • Sounds like a UTI which means a trip to the vet.

  • Yea I'm thinking it may be that as well since he drank a TON of water when I placed his water bowl back on the floor. He was also whining & pacing right before he went pee on the kitchen floor the last time. I was running up to take him outside assuming that was it but by the time I ran over he had gone. That means he can't hold it now either…

  • Yup, I would agree, UTI is possible…

    I have never had a vet not know what breed my dogs are, even though when I got my first one they did not have any others in the practice. My vet immediately began reading up. And when I gave her info, she listened. Foxtails can be very nasty and a vet that lives in an area with them should know you have to REMOVE IT before your dog will get better. So I join the others in begging you to get another vet.

    Patty, I can't see why not. It shouldn't be given every day, but now and then. And it should NOT be replaced with their regular food. Eggs have lots of good protein, and it's also a good source for riboflavin, B12 and phosphorus, and even selenium. I've seen only a few dog food brands with riboflavin in it, and I believe it's an important deal for dogs, as well for us humans.

    The one time this happened to my german shepherd mix, she had to be put under anesthesia to cut the nail off. I got her to the vet right away, and they took care of it. The nail grew out just fine after that, and we never had another problem.

    @tanza: Hmm…. I would "bet not".....gggg;) And you'd win! This morning, Magnum followed me down to the laundry room where I had put some painted-up towels I used last night to get off a lot of the paint when it first happened. Luckily, I was able to grab them up just as he got into position to throw himself down and roll on them. (I trashed them after getting them as clean as I could.) He just loves rolling in stuff that's smelly, whether it's a good smell or a bad smell! He may have learned a lesson, but it's obviously not one that's gonna stop him from rolling in smelly stuff! He seems to be okay even after getting several licks of paint in, no tummy problems, his usual laid-back self. Eating and drinking well.

    @JazzysMom: Oh sorry, should have been more clear. I just sent my dogs' blood to Bryan, HE sent it on for testing. I was just replying as to where/how to physically mail the blood, not so much as related to the testing itself. Me too, should have been more clear, I was really responding to etzbseder about the CPP site and submitting blood, didn't even look to see the message was from you…. ggg
