| Mine doesn't have separation anxiety I don't think. But she sure does pee a lot. She drinks a lot of water though.

| My pups are 7 months old and males so they seem to be marking every chance they get ( or were until they were neutered a few weeks ago ! ) ...but they do have to go outside a lot ...... as for separation anxiety , I have the 2 pups so they keep one another company and Ryder does carry on if he can't see me or his brother ....... |

| Mine both pee a lot and drink a lot of water. I took them to the vet because I was worried. She tested them and said they are both healthy & just like to drink water, they do play hard chasing each other around though.

| Thanks for all the replies. Mimi can pee twice within 10 mintues. Is that normal?? I am thinking of bringing her to see a vet....but it's so hard to get her urine sample. I don't want the nurse to get the sample for me...cause they said they use a needle to draw the urine out of the bladder....it seems kinda painful to me..... |

| It's hard to say, they're all different. I would think the smaller the dog, the less control he/she would have. If you think she is peeing too much, make sure to have her checked for a UTI. If she drinks alot of water, she will obviously go more. I've been having a problem with separation anxiety, but Jake has been much better the last week or so. I was home with him for the first 6 months I had him because I was ill, so he has had a hard time getting used to me working. Fortunately, my hubby gets home about an hour or less after I go to work so that helps. Jake was getting very sad and wouldn't eat while I was at work. I took some advice I got here and it's working. When I leave, I don't make a big deal out of it. I started taking my keys and purse and leaving for very short times. I starting with going outside and waiting a couple minutes, then I'd come back. I'm gradually increasing the time, and he is realizing that when I leave, I will always come back. Now he's getting so much better about it, and he is back to eating his evening meal. |

| Thanks. I did bring her to see the vet but they said to wait another month or so. I just have one more stupid question....what color is the urine. Mimi's urine is yellow. Is that normal??? |
