sick little pup :(

My poor dog I think he has a bladder infection. He is 3 and has always been great on the house trained front. I can count how many accidents he has had on one hand, even as a baby...until now that is. For the last three days he is peeing everywhere. I mean EVERY where. He doesn't even seem to notice he is doing it. He sleeps in a kennel at night and last night we got up and let him out 3 times to pee (usually he sleeps through the night) and he still had peed a bucket in there when we let him out at 5:30 this morning. It sucks coming home from work every day and having to give him a bath and clean out his cage, the carpet, etc. I am trying to get him into the vet asap to get him some medicine but so far no luck since DH and I can't take off of work to take him. He doesn't seem to be in pain...it just sucks because I am tired of cleaning up pee! I can't be (and am not) mad at him though. I just hope he gets better soon! Thanks for listening!

  • Bummer! Pugsly had UTI's when we first got her, so I'm well aware of what you're going through.  DO try to find a way to get him to the vet ASAP.  If left untreated, it can do damage to kidneys, etc. 
  • Ditto pp and take him in ASAP.  If you let it go too long, it could develop into a kidney infection.  I actually did this myself once.  I thought I was getting over a UTI on my own without medicine, so I just let it go.  A few days later, I was hospitalized with a kidney infection.

    To jump off of what Kellie said, from my own personal experience, and from everyone I know who has had a UTI, they don't get better without medication.  I've never heard of anyone getting better from a UTI without some medical action.  

    So please take him in.  Or you may just be able to take a urine sample in to the vet and drop it off if that's easier.  A little gross to collect, but easy enough to do. 

  • Aww...I hope your pup is feeling better soon!!
  • Poor guy.... my dog had one the first month I moved to Florida.  She was crate trained but peed everywhere, and it smelled horrible.  I would def. call the vet and get him in ASAP and bring a urine sample, that way they don't have to actually get it out of him....I would call and ask if you can drop it off and they can test it and give you meds. Hope he feels better soon!  My DH just called and said our dog rolled in rabbit sh!t.....glad I'm not home to clean that one up. Ick!
  • Vet appointment booked! They will see him tomorrow when I get off of work. Hopefully he will be back in good health soon! Thanks for all the concerns.

  • That's great. I'm glad he'll be seen soon. Poor little guy, but I bet he'll be a-ok as soon as he's on some meds :)
