No pee pad. We stopped using them some time ago when Troy stopped one day. I walk with him typically and as a male would typically do he was marking his territory. I thought I saw it the first "pitstop" but paid close attention to it the second and then that's when I freaked and ran to the vet.

Another thing to note is that he didn't hike his leg so he was in a bit of pain around the belly area.

The vet said that it's not unusual to see this time of year as more dogs become dehydrated. Its been hot in GA and even though we don't spend much time outside, Troy can still decrease his water in take.

This morning, you can see that the food and meds have worked because his urine is "nice and yellow". LOL
