Sounds like there may be a UTI going on there. I'd have the vet check her.
Unusual peeing
Well heck, I blew it. The puppies were supposed to be spayed at the end of last month (according to what the vet told me) but they seem to have gone into heat before we could get that done. No big deal as far as mess (only found one spot on the comforter so far...just put an old sheet on it in the meantime)...and will take care of the spay as soon as their heat is finished.
But this is weirding/bumming me out. Daisy was the hold out as far as getting the potty training thing down and now she is just dropping and peeing wherever the mood strikes her (why? is this because she is in heat, hormonal or just a major backslide?) AND Pip (who was spayed right after we rescued her - in October) seems obsessed with Daisy (constantly smelling her back there and then peeing on top of wherever Daisy pees (be it inside or out). I'm guessing Gracie is in heat too (she licks a lot) but she isn't acting any different at all, nor is Pip reacting to her like she is to Daisy ???
What the heck is going on here??? I'm at my wit's end

urinary tract infection... that's something I hadn't thought of, thanks, Brit *just ASSumed it was related to her heat cycle * Will have that looked into...
(But wonder why Pip is doing this new pee on Daisy's pee spot behavior?)

Urinary Tract Infection..
That is so good to know!!! I'll bet that's what it is. Gracie must have gone into her heat first since she licked herself and peed so much I thought she had a UTI but she didn't (but Gracie is my star pupil - she' been peeing outside since she was very little - taught herself how to use the doggy door - even helped teach the older rescues hahaa). Daisy must be in a slightly different phase of it then... can't wait til this nonsense is over
We have been leaving our Little Green Machine filled and on stand by ... Will probably wait til a month or so after the symptoms have passed to get it done (since the don't go into heat again for another 6 months, I think)...hoping those upper canine baby teeth will fall out in the meantime (if not they'll get taken out during the spay procedure)Thanks to ALL for your feedback
:thumbsup: :wub:
Hello all...so happy to report that all is well with Buckeye. He doesn't have a UTI, and the vet is convinced that he's just doing the "marking" thing that they do at his age (he just turned 6 months). His neuter appt has been set for some time (6/28) so hopefully that will help (she says sometimes it does, depends on the dog..keeping my fingers crossed).
As far as the pooping mishaps, I think I gave up a little too soon, thinking he was completely house broken, not to mention that as of April, he started to be home alone so I think that upset him a bit. So, I'm sort of "starting over" with that. Other than that, he's great and as usual, they all marveled at how sweet and beautiful he is, and how white his coat is (says he's the most beautiful, white dog they've seen in a long time)
Does ya just love when that happens? Hugs
