urine problems with female dog?

Question

I have a female dog thats about a 16 mon. old. she is house broken however I have had some problems with her peeing in my house once in a while. it seems like it just hits her and she goes with no warning. I take her out and give her plenty of exercise....I was wondering if she might have some sort of bladder problem. She doesn't have any blood in her urine or anything but this is just unusal for her to do. thanks for your advise.

Answer 1

if she lets you know when she has to go outside to go potty normally, then she might have some medical problem. if she only goes outside to potty when you take her and initiate it, she may not know about letting you know when she has to go. try taking her to a vet to make sure its not a medical problem

Answer 2

Your dog does this because she can. I have some adult dogs I Imported that have this same problem, which we are working on. It is probably NOT a urinary problem.

You will have to treat her like a puppy. When she eats, drinks, naps, or plays, she will be stimulated to urinate. Take her outside after these events. Frequent trips to go outside will help forstall the problem. Be her personal cheerleader when she goes outside, even give her a tiny treat. You might hang some bells on the door, many dogs learn to yank the bells when they want to go outside. Of course, then they also yank the bells when they want to go outside to play, which is why there are no bells on my own door at this time. Scold her but do not hit her and do not rub her nose in it...the old fashioned methods are worse than useless for housebreaking. Make a greater effort to either watch her or confine her when she cannot be watched.

When she is not directly in your watchful sight, then she should be confined to a very small area where she cannot get away from her own urine if she goes. Normal healthy dogs hate to wet themselves. A crate works wonders for this, but lacking a crate, a small bathroom might work.

If you do not make the effort to prevent her from urinating inside, then you are actually TEACHING her it is okay to urinate inside. Dogs do what works, and currently, this strategy works for her when she does not want to let you know she needs to go, or is too lazy to do so.

Answer 3

If you suspect problems I would definately get her completely checked out. Could be a host of things, urinary, bladder, or kidney infection. Could also be more serious things such as diabetes (my 2 cats had it and the first sign was urinary problems)or prostate problems. Could also be another organ swelling and pressing on her bladder or a tumor pressing on her bladder or in her bladder. Could be any number of things, some are serious and some are not so serious, there is no way to tell for sure unless you take her to the vet.

Answer 4

The only way to know for sure if your dog has a bladder problem is to take her to a vet. Do you have any other dogs in your house or does she urinate when you leave her? You may have to confine her to a particular area where she can't damage carpeting, etc. Good luck.

Answer 5

My oldest dog is male and 6y/o and he still pees in the house, especially when I move into a new place. My wife has a y/o corgi mix and she still gets so excited some times like when my wife comes home that she pees all over the place. in fact her name is Eden, but we call her Peeden...your dog is probably fine.

Answer 6

if it only happens once in a while and she is showing no signs of being unwell then it could be an attention problem take note of when it happens and see if there is a pattern to this behaviour,if in any doubt then consult the vet he wil advise better than anyone.

Answer 7

Yes, ask the vet. I know it happens to older dogs and people.

I had an old Germain Shepard and she would "wet her pants" . The doctor game us some pill that helped a lot.

God Bless you both.

Answer 8

She probably want attention my dog does that to and he is house broken to or maybe she is exited about something I dont know who knows whats going on in a dogs mind.

Answer 9

infections don't always contain blood. I would have her checked by a vet. Basically because it could be worse then a bladder infection. You can add cranberry juice to her water. Make sure it is changed daily this will cut back on infections, but have her checked first.

Answer 10

I say take her to the vet. merely to be chance-free highly because she isnt spayed. distinctive issues can bypass incorrect health sensible for an unspayed canines. a number of that would want to correctly be existence threatening.
