Puppy Blues !

[KSH]

Get her to a vet. You might have a kidney or bladder problem. Dogs do not normally pee on themselves.

Well, I would think that she has an issue that the vet can solve... IF she were peeing in her cage when I leave her in it during the day. But she doesn't. It's very clear that she can hold it, when she chooses to.

Honestly, I don't think she understands the diaper and that she is NOT peeing on the floor. Seriously.

When I get some money I will try the vet (it costs about $150 everytime I go!), but I honestly think she is choosing to pee on the carpet when she wakes up in the AM. She can hold it just fine when I'm around or when she is in a cage. It's only when she is out of the cage and alone that she does this.

This was easily fixed with medication. There are a couple of options available, some involve a pill 2x a day, depending on the severity of the condition and the dog's response, or sometimes they can go on another type of med, involving 1 pill every 6 days or so, again, depending on the dogs response.

Pills? Wow. That sounds expensive. Is it?

I can see it now... $150 for the vet visit and $60 in pills each month. I hate to whine, but I'm not rich... and I already pay $40 every 2-3 months for eye drops.

It just keeps adding up.

Well, the diaper will have to be the problem solver until after December. I simply can't afford the vet right now.
