When my dog is sleeping in the doorway she has peed and layed in her pee several times.. It's been about three times in the last 5 days. I can't afford to take her to the vet until next week. Is there anything I can do to help this situation? She only pees while laying down in the same doorway. Please help. Thank you

If she is an older spayed female, this is most likely a hormonal problem that can be controlled with a pretty cheap medication. First, take a urine sample into your vet to rule out any infection, etc. If that is fine, they can dispense the pills. Hope this is the fix she needs.

How old is your dog? If your dog is fairly young, then it could be a bladder, kidney infection and you should get your dog to the vet ASAP. Borrow from a friend or see if the vet will arrange a delayed payment for you.
If you dog is old, this is not uncommon and can often be something that happens when a dog is close to the end of life. Either way, your dog should see a vet right away as you don't want him to suffer.

Do you mean incontinent?
How old is your dog? My older dog used to pee and lay in it because he had hip problems and couldnt get up to pee.
If you cant afford to see the vet right now then at least call one and ask them for advise on the phone.

well, my dog (when she was a pup) liked to pee in the same spots a lot. it was a marking thing that she insisted on doing, like claiming her teritory. trust me, if it were a bladder infection, you would know. and considering it is only the one spot you mention she does this in, i would say that she is also marking her area. blocking the area for a while might be hard, considering you say it is in the doorway, but this is what i ended up having to do with mine, and the problem is all cured now. good luck!!!

It could be a bladder infection or incontinence that hits (usually) older spayed bitches. I had both happen & both were treated faily cheaply and both dogs are just fine (& dry) 5 years later (the older ***** is now 15). Unfortunatly whiout knowing which it is, Its impossible to give any advice

Sounds like spay incontinence. It often affects older, spayed females. Check with your vet, they can prescribe hormones which will take care of the problem.

I think you mean "incontinent", incognant, if it is a word, would have something to do with your dogs ability to reason.
Talk to your vet over the phone

Ask your vet it could be a kidney problem and She COULD die if untreated.

you really need to get that checked, it could be diabetes.
