My dog pees a lot in the house, walking, not squatting. What's wrong?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do not think the omegas have anything to do with the urinating. My first concern with going that much would be a urinary tract infection. Kidney disease and diabetes can also cause increased urination. There may have been a recent dog walking the same path and Birdie may have been marking. Without seeing her it’s hard to say. To be sure I recommend taking Birdie to a vet for an exam and to test her urine for problems. You could also continue to monitor her. If she continues to urinate frequently at home, you notice a change in her appetite, drinking habits, or lethargy then I would see a vet. Good luck and kisses to Birdie!

I would recommend to rule out something like an infection in Presley's bladder before you give up on her. Since she can't talk, you don't know the reasoning behind this behavior. The veterinarian will look at her urine sample to see if there are any abnormalities which may cause this behavior. Go from there. If it does look to be more behavioral, speak with a trainer, read some books about housebreaking difficult dogs. Most dogs can be properly housebroken but not all learn in the same fashion. Definitely rule out your medical causes first. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any further questions.

I would not get too worried over two episodes. I recommend watching his water intake and urination over the next week or so. If you notice that both remain elevated he should get checked out by a veterinarian as it could be signs of early diseases like kidney issues and Cushing's disease. Also monitor him for any blood in his urine, dribbling, or straining to urinate as it could indicate an infection or even stones.

There are several disease that can cause this whixhbwoukd make it not his fault. Your vet needs to examine him to check for diabetes or kidney disease or a bladder infection or stones . These can both cause more frequent urinating in the early stages. if these test are all normal then your vet can prescribe behavioral medicines to help

It does sound like a problem. She may have a urinary tract infection but it could also be a more serious problem especially if she is also drinking a lot of water. I suggest you get her to your vet for an exam.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Nina. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian. Increases in thirst and urination can indicate an underlying disease. For example, diabetes can cause these symptoms. The veterinarian will examine her and likely collect blood and urine. Based on these results, treatment can be started if necessary. In the meantime, take her outside frequently. Do not restrict her access to water. If she has a metabolic disorder, then he body needs the extra water. I hope this information helps!

The most common diseases that cause dogs to drink and urinate more are urinary tract infections, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, cushings disease, and addisons disease. If the urinalysis was negative for infection then, hopefully, the bloodwork will help diagnose the problem. Hopefully, the bloodwork will be back in the morning. Hope she feels better soon!
