My last male terrier never did this. So is it more likely he is in a pseudo heat or has a utc? He acts healthy as can be. |
Hi Rubye,
Poor Zeke, poor Rubye!
Funky pee can be a sign of a medical issue.
Hanie Elfenbein, DVM, "
What Your Pet's Urine Says About His Health,"
PetMD. About odor, article says "foul smelling urine is often an indicator of infection. Concentrated urine will have a stronger smell."
"
Clues to Your Dog's Health Can be Just a Whiff Away," 2014,
Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. Article mentions that urine that smells sour or like "rotting fish" may indicate a urinary tract infection.
Thank you for lovin' your little one. -- KatysMom
