Hi
I am new here so firstly, hello
I wondered if anyone has come across a similar problem. I have a 14 month old, unspayed yorkie. I got her when she was old at 11 months. When I got her, her vulva was quite big for such a small dog and I thought she may have been due into season - but as far as I can tell she still hasn't had a season (unless I missed it).
Since I have had her she has always messed in the house during the night, strangely on a bi-weekly basis. One week nothing, the next week 3-4 wees (large and small) and a poo or two. Then the next week, nothing???!
Anyhow, 3 days ago during the day she wee'd on the sofa. I put this down to a little bit of seperation anxiety as she isnt really left alone much (does have her neutered husband for company and 3 cats) but I went shopping for 40 minutes. Didnt think much of it really.
But last night she wet the bed (she sleeps in bed with me). I woke up at 3am with wet legs and a large wet patch by my knees. She had just done it becuase she was digging on my pillow which is why I woke up (and the wee was still warm). Because it was out of the ordinary and she looked quite worried, I ignored it, changed the bedding etc. When I got up at 8am she had also done 3 wee's in the front room and a poo.
Took a urine sample to the vet which has come back clear. I can't help but wonder if this rather large vulva and this wetting is connected. The next stage will be a check to seeing if everything is ok internally. The vet has suggested putting her on antibiotics just in case and also propolyn which narrows the urine 'pipes' to see if this will help. She also does a lot of tiny wees, the size of a coin. She is drinking normally etc.
Anyone had anything similar to this? She is happy as anything in herself so no problems there?
Thanks x
