I'm on my second roll of paper towels since Friday cleaning up urine. He also urinates in his crate at night (though slight) on his blanket, it's like he can't hold it for any length of time. I'm trying to find information on google as to why a puppy would drink so much and urinate so much. I'll be making a vet appt for tomorrow to try to find out why or if this is a health issue. |
This is similar to the problem I am experiencing with Gus, starting from the time I got him until now. Initially, he was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection which was treated with antibiotics. The problem lessened after treatment. After numerous tests, I am currently watching his diet (foods that don't create excessive thirst - no eating things off the ground outside), and behavior.
Let us know what your vet finds. A UTI is an easy cure. Good luck.
