I have a lab who is three and half months old. She is constantly peeing. We took her to the vet and they gave us some antibiotics. She is always thirsty. We take her out but it seems like everytime we turn around she's peeing. I thought dogs weren't supposed to pee where they sleep but she does. After only being in her cage for fifteen minutes she'll pee. This is frustrating. We also live upstairs in an apt. so it's a pain to take her out constantly but that's our problem. We're moving to a house in a month but what can I do until then?

How come no one has thought about diabetes??? Have her blood sugar tested. Diabetes symptoms in dogs are the same as in adults. (extreme thirst, extreme urination, weight loss, poor coat and skin condition, secondary infections, dehydration, etc.) This is a completely treatable disease sometimes with insulin therapy but sometimes just with a change in diet. It is definitely something I would check into if I were you.

I had this problem when I first got my puppy. I researched a little and found out that it is okay to take away the water dish if your puppy is constantly drinking. I didn't agree but I did stop re-filling his dish after 8:30 at night so that he wouldn't have a full bladder before I woke up at 6:30 the next morning. This helped get rid of his morning accidents and he now has more control of his bladder now that he's older.

Hi, I think Your Dog is Seka, she is very thirsty and drinks and of course pees constantly. Change the Vet that is not normal even after antibiotics she still peeing and in the crate, that is not a Dogs nature. I think she is still seek pure Dogie and pure You. Good luck.

A dog that age can't hold its bladder very long. The bladder itself is not very big. If you are concerned that your puppy is going too frequently, consult a different vet.
Puppies need to go out when they wake up, after they eat, after they play (sometimes during). They have not figured out how to tell that they are about to need to go, they just go. A dog will pee where it sleeps if it has no choice.

Your puppy, seems to be having a health problem, with its bladder. Don't get mad at the puppy, cause she can't control it. She'll need to watched over, & keep her checked by her Vet. for this problem, cause they can't tell you that, they need help, with these things. "Poor baby", I hope her Vet. will help you, on this, a little more,& if not try a new Vet. that will.

She drinks a lot of water which makes her pee a lot.
Is she potty trained though? You should scold her when she uses the wrong spot, and praise when she uses the potty.

suggestion ... take her water away at around supper time... 6pm no more water ... take her blanket away if she has one.... shes not going to like sitting in pp allnight..... another thing you can try is making her space smaller... so she cant move around to freely in the carrier... did your vet check her for diabetis? not sure if that could be a factor but you never know... good luck !!!
