Hi all,
This is probably a very silly question. I've had Lucy since Saturday. She's just about 5 months and weighs 4 3/4 lbs.
I've noticed that I need to direct her to her food/water bowls in the a.m. & p.m. When I do, she eats and drinks. I've also been keeping close watch on her and frequently direct her back to the water bowl to drink (she does do that on her own at times.)
I've also noticed that she really only pees 1x per day. The 2nd night I had her, she held her pee until after midnight (even tho I took her out A WHOLE LOT!) When she pee'd - it was like a dam broke open.
Today (this a.m. around 7) she went out for her morning walk. She poo'd but didn't pee. I just took her out again for over 1/2 hour. She still didn't pee. She ate and drank after her first thing in the morning walk.
She's perky and healthy. Vet gave her a full clean bill of health. Her tail is wagging all the time. She does need frequent "cat" naps because she gets lots of play time. When she's up, she's very very playful.
Is it normal for a yorkie to hold it like a camel all day? I have her restricted to an expen when I'm not with her. She's restricted to our kitchen when I am with her - and that's a small area. I've gotten on my hands and knees searching for a secret pee under the table or near a cabinet - but nothing. She doesn't lift her leg and squats like a lady when she goes.
Maybe I'm used to male dogs (this is my first girl) who constantly lift their legs on something when they go outside????
What's normal?????
Much thanks.
Tracey
