I know there is something wrong with him because he is urinating in his kennel...he never has done that before. But the vet thought his bladder was inflammed so she put him on steroids which made him pee pee more. Now he has been off the steroids for a week and is still pee pee in his kennel. She asked me if he was straining when he went pee but I never noticed before. Today we went for a walk and he urinated fine when we left the house. When we got back (which was only 15min walk) he went again...I looked real close (the neighbors prob think I'm sick) and he lifted his leg for a while and one little drop came out. I think he definately has a stone they just cannot find it. This has been on going for the past month and this weekend he really has been feeling bad...i can tell he is just not the same dog. And I'm so frustrated because they cannot tell me what is wrong with him. Vet was not in today so I am calling her tomorrow. |
At first, I thought Miko was urinating regularly also...He would lift his leg or squat, and I assumed he was peeing, until I started looking real closely, and only a drop was coming out.
One day, he completely stopped urinating, he was squatting, but couldn't go, and I had to take him to the vet immediately...I could tell he felt horrible and was sick. Your little guy definitely has something wrong with him...We can sense these sort of things...If he's not urinating right, he could get really sick...The vet needs to find that stone...Let them do the ultrasound or put the catheter in if necessary because your little guy's obviously not able to pass the stone(s) on his own.
Also, one more suggestion, start giving your baby distilled water...Ask your vet if this is okay, but I'm sure she will say it's fine...
