In reply to KATRINA ROUX. Hi Katrina. It’s very possibly a UTI, as the signs can be subtle to non-existent for a long period. Therefore, this should definitely be checked first. However, in a large breed dog, it’s more likely to be USMI.

My 3 yr old Irish wolf hound female mix on two separate occasions we have found her laying and a puddle of urine by her and then drips when she gets up and is walking away. Not sure what to do bc it happened on 2 separate occasions 2 months apart. Could it be a UTI? Could she have a UTI for that long? Is it something different all together?

In reply to Lorena Bravo Jara. Hi Lorena. It’s likely that the drugs from the anaesthesia unmasked a tendency to incontinence, which is common in large breed female dogs. That explains the latest episode, but I would certainly get a urine test done just to be sure you’re not missing anything else.

My 2yrs old female irish wolfhound mix wet OUR bed while sleeping. The first time was when she had surgery due to grass spike on her neck, and wet while sleeping.. we thought because of the heavy drugs, but again 4 weeks later it happens again being complete recovered. Should I be worry? Not sure what would be the best to do next, wait? Vet? Please help!

In reply to Alison Davies. Hi Alison. That’s a strange one. Definitely start with a checkup and urinalysis but there could be a behavioural cause such as anxiety. Good luck.

In reply to Ro. Hi Ro. The real problem is that your JRT has trained herself into thinking a bed is a toilet. You're not alone; in fact it's the biggest drawback to poorly conducted crate training. At 16 years of age, she's very unlikely to ever change her habits so if you want her inside you need to provide dog beds that are different enough that she doesn't classify them as 'toilet'. A trampoline-style bed should do it, or no beds are fine if you have carpet. Certainly a lot better than being outside! .

Hi,
Our now 16.5 yo Jack Russell has wee’d on her bed intentionally for years, 10 years maybe. Thought it was accidental, then during the middle of a normal warm summer day I saw her walk to her bed, hop on, squat and wee on it. We have tried this and that, nothing works. She will go wee on out other dogs bed too ( we have 2 beds and they just switch at will ). She will go on her bed, run off barking as if she heard a cat, the other dog follows…only for the bed wetter to come back and jump in the dry bed.
So now old, with winter it would be nice to keep her inside at night, but with I am not having the house smell like dog wee. Her coat smells like wee, we can’t wash her every day… So kids won’t pat her…just goes on.
So what do we do? She has fatty lumps, the cold makes her stiff and appear older… I dont want to take her to be euthanized but its getting to that stage.

In reply to Elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth. It's essential that you get a urine sample (I promise if you persist you WILL get one eventually!) and get it taken to a vet to check for a urinary infection. Urinary incontinence is uncommon at 4 years of age and should have responded to stilboestrol. Other thoughts are that there could be a local skin issue called perivulval dermatitis. Again, a second opinion is required to confirm this.

My 4 year old Maltese X has just started excessive licking of her vulva and it wets the top sheet. I called a Mobile Vet and he said she had Urinary Incontinence and commenced her on Stilboestral on the 7th November. It has not fixed the problem. Am disabled and am finding things hard.
