Why is my 7-year-old pit bull not peeing, tired, and hiding?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Serenity. You did the right thing by taking her into the vet when this first started. This behavior is concerning, and you may be right that there is something else going on. I'd take her back into the vet for bloodwork and a urinalysis. Call the vet tomorrow to make her an appointment. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am afraid that this is more concerning this time. It may be due to an infection such as Pyometra or something else. For that reason, I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can then decide what would be best after evaluating her. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The urinary tract symptoms you describe could be due to a urinary tract infection, urinary stones, a tumor, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further diagnostics would include abdominal imaging and lab work. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

Dribbling urine is not normal and can be a sign of urinary incontinence. Other issues such as bladder infections or muscular/nerve issues may also cause incontinence. Since your girl is a senior and is also spayed, it is possible the muscles surrounding her bladder have weakened. It is best to schedule a veterinary exam as soon as possible as well as bring in a sample of her urine to check for common issues such as infections. Your vet can then recommend treatment as needed depending on the underlying cause such as antibiotics to treat infection, or medications to increase bladder tone.

I would recommend to take Nina into the vets today if possible. She may have a urinary tract infection, bladder stones or even something very serious like a urethral blockage (which can be fatal). The doctor will palpate her abdomen and get a urine sample to analyze. I'm not sure that the eyes are related to the urine issues, they could just be a symptom that she is sick or could be an issue all of their own. Regardless, the doctor will be able to address them as well. I hope Nina starts feeling better quickly! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Although Mya is still eating, drinking, and having normal bathroom habits, the shaking and lethargy is a concern. Shaking can sometimes be an indication of pain or discomfort in dogs or can be a symptom of certain endocrine diseases. I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. In this case, it is very hard to say for certain what is going on with Mya without examining her first. A veterinary exam would be a good place to start so she can be evaluated head to tail. Your veterinarian may recommend blood work and/or x-rays be run on Mya as well to help determine a diagnosis. I hope this helps and thanks again for posting!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite and lethargy can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. Not urinating can be a separate issue and could be due to an obstruction or just simply to a lack of drinking. I recommend that you have Harley evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
