| Bladder problem? Baffled! I wonder if you might have some insight on my wonderful, yet getting a bit older dog as she did something really weird last night. She is not my yorkie but maybe someone will have any ideas. She was laying in front of the open door watching out through the screen as she likes to do and I found her just laying in a decent sized pool of urine. She does not ever have accidents. She didn't even seem to be aware she was laying in it and just looked at me like "what?". Her appetite is great, good attitude and nice pink gums. I'm keeping an eye on her and not freaking out running to the vet just yet since all other signs are normal for her, but I am baffled on what possible reasons this could have happened. The urine was very yellow and stained the tiles a little even. I don't have any chemicals that I am aware of that she could have gotten into, and she isn't lethargic or anything. I worry about my beasts too much, just wondered if you all had any potential insight. Thank you!!!! Jeni |

| Maybe she just really had to go! You said she's getting older... She could be becoming incontinent as she ages. It could also be some kind of bladder/urinary tract infection. If it happens again I'd take her to the vet to rule out any possible health issues. I wouldn't worry too much about her just laying in it... My dog does the same thing sometimes! |

| I would suspect a kidney, bladder or hormonal (lack of estrogen) problem. |

| My female german sheperd had a incontinance problem after the age of ten, She did not even no she was peeing, She was on a med called Proin for 2 years and did great on it, My understanding is that it helps tighten the muscle. It is a commen problem in an older female, But she should be checked for a uti |
