okay so after 2 rounds of antibiotics as precautionary....a new lab work showing NO uti of any sort...x rays and a catheter to rule out any bladder stones....[COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]my [COLOR=green !important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] has been given a completely clean bill of health!!

therefore the only conclusion my [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]vet[/COLOR][/COLOR] can come to is that hunter's need to go out every 15 minutes and squeeze out a few drops of pee is completely [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]behavioral[/COLOR][/COLOR]...

he's definitely catching on to housebreaking and that outside is the place to [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]potty[/COLOR][/COLOR] but if he wont hold it more than 15 mins we're never gonna have a [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]house [COLOR=green !important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] that i dont have to stress about and watch 24/7!!

any ideas on how to teach him to hold it longer while outside of the [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]crate[/COLOR][/COLOR]?! he does great inside the crate but goes to the door every 15 mins while outside of the crate and if i dont take him out he'll piddle on my [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]carpet[/COLOR][/COLOR]!!!

the vet mentioned some kind of medication that makes the urethra (?) close up a little and make them not feel the sensation to have to go as much but i am hesitant to put him on something like that because i dont want to give him any [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]health [COLOR=green !important]issues[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] and it seems kind of cruel
