Uncontrolled urination
Hi. This is my first post, so if I screw it up, please understand.
We have a 5 month old female pup who was spayed at the "no kill shelter" when she was between 8-10 weeks old. The puppy with 6 brothers and sisters and her mother was found in a box that had been thrown into a trash dumpster. We couldn't resist bringing her home and have loved her since. From the time we brought her home she urinated 5 or 6 times every hour. At first, we thought it was just that she was too young to house train, but now at 5 months old she still urinates as often (but now her puddles are much larger since she is bigger). She loves to drink water, so we tried to restrict her water intake, but have other dogs who use the same bowl so it is hard to keep water away all the time. We take the puppy outside whenever we suspect she has to go. She goes, and then 10-15 minutes later urinates while she is walking around the house. Often she urinates down the stairs as she is running to go out the door. Vet has done various tests, the latest showed the dog's urine was almost totally clear with very little urine odor. The Vet tells us this means our dog cannot concentrate urine. I've asked if diabetes is possible, and the Vet agreed to test for that. Although she is just a "pound pup" we really want to keep this dog, but cannot if she urinates uncontrolably in the house. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you in advance for any advice you have. Tony |
