[JuneBugs Momma]

Noticed just this week that after waking up my pup in the mornings, his bed is wet. He is not crated and never has been, for he sleeps in my bedroom in his own bed. I thought it was because we were allowing him to drink to late at night. So on Wednesday, I took up his water around 7pm and let him out around 9pm. Hubby let him out around 4am, when he gets up, and the bed was dry. So I experimented. Last night I took his water up around 7pm and let him out. Then I let him out again around 9pm. I then let him out again around 10:30pm just as a precaution. Now, this morning, hubby had to get up extra early for a meeting (3:30am) and guess what,,,Junebug's bed was wet. I decided to call the vet today.


The vet told me to bring in a urine sample so I did. I waited for the results and the vet asked me some questions (what made me think he might have a UTI, etc). The vet told me his ph levels were fine as well as his protein (to detect stones, crystals, etc) but he found a very little trace of blood. He put him on a course of antibiotics along with an anti-inflammatory. The vet mentioned that it could also be the start of incontinence but he is a little young for this. The vet said to go the course and if he is still doing it after 2 weeks of treatment, we might have to start him on meds for incontinence.
