My 10-year-old dog tried to poop, then peed. Should I be concerned?

Hello. I am so sorry for your worries with Romeo. Urine volume can absolutely vary during the day(s). What usually concerns us is if there is an increase in water intake & also increased urinations which could be an indication of some underlying condition. It is impossible to make any conclusion based on your picture, but I see nothing that overly concerns me. If he is acting & eating normal, there is probably no immediate concern right now, but as a pet ages, things can start to happen. If it has been a while since Romeo has seen a veterinarian, it may be time for a good wellness checkup. This would include blood work & a urinalysis. This will hopefully show that all is well with Romeo. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Romeo. You can see a period of not pooping after having diarrhea, so this can be normal. I wouldn't be too worried about it as he's otherwise normal. I would take him for a couple of walks a day, as this can stimulate pooping, and make sure he drinks plenty of water. I hope this helps!

Hello. I am so sorry for your worries with Romeo. It is hard to put any significance to one urine spot because the amount of urine produced throughout the day can vary quite a bit. If Romeo was not very thirsty, then not as much urine would be produced. Wet food has a significant amount of water, so this can take the place of a drink or two from the water bowl, again affecting the amount of urine actually produced. Just keep an eye on things & if anything changes, then have him evaluated. If your veterinarian deems it necessary, he will most likely collect a urine sample, & possibly also a blood sample to check on Romeo's overall health. This is the best way to see if there are any problems developing. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach & all the best to Romeo.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Romeo has good appetite and regular bowel movements, most likely there is nothing to worry about. His stool size should get back to normal soon. If you see your vet tomorrow, please make sure that he/she fully examines Romeo to ensure everything is OK.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Tyty's symptoms sound rather serious and can be an indication of certain cancers, infections, or even foreign bodies. I recommend having him seen by a vet as soon as possible - especially because he is having trouble urinating, which can result in build up of toxins in the body normally filtered by the kidneys. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have and hope all is well with your dog!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Romeo. This is fine, as long as he is pooping at least once a day and otherwise acting normally, there is no need to worry. I hope this helps!

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As long as she is normal otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about the poop escape. Perhaps she had to potty before she went to bed. You may try taking her out one last final time before bed time just to be sure. Thanks again for posting!
