  • 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.

    I would not have posted if I beleived it to be a scam. For folks who do worry about such things - one can always let the person know they would be more than willing to donate directly to the vet clinic for care of their pet. M.C. I too beleive they either got what they needed to help their little girl or they realized they put too much info on craigslist. I am hoping for the former. As for Drew - yes - that is a picture of him. If you really want to know - email me privately and I can send you a copy of an article I was asked to write for an Aussie pubication re: him.

    It does sound like this person's dog is actually eating the bedding, towels, etc. because he/she is worried about the dog getting a blockage. Something that is safe to eat would be better than paper, I think, but I've given Paco Busy Bones and Kongs with treats inside, just to find when I get home that he's totally ignored them. I'll get home, open the crate, and he'll pick up the Bone or Kong and start working on it outside of the crate. I think it's his protest to being left home alone and not getting to come along more than a protest to the crate, as he never minds going in there. To the OP, I wouldn't worry too much about your dog not having bedding - Paco shoves his bedding to one side of the crate and sleeps on the plastic bottom all the time. I don't think they mind too much, as long as they're not in there for long. Have you tried video-ing your dog after you leave, or sneaking back to the house and spying on him? I video'd Paco once and found that he pawed at the corners and sides of the crate for six minutes, then curled up and slept until I came home 4 hours later.

    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.
