Embarassed to ask 1 Attachment(s) Ok here it goes, . Lil copper is my first male dog and he is 7 1/2 mts old. I house broke to the pee pads and when he goes and pees it smells bad ,i had a female before him and i don't remenber her pee having a bad odor . Its like soon as he pees you know it .could it be what he eats or do males have a odor. |
Do you think he's drinking enough water? Gus' urine is clear & oderless. He drinks lots & lots & lots of water. Squirt's urine is dark & smelly, & he drinks very little water. |
You no i don't know , he dont drink a lot or eat alot either he is real small he only weights 2 1/2 lbs but he's fine health wize so maybe thats whats wrong i will try to get him to drink more water thank you |

Is water available for him all the time? Do you feed him dry food? If so, you could add water to it. |
A good ploy if they won't drink is to put ice cubes into their drinking bowl - mine adores chewing and sucking ice cubes, and it's an excellent way to get water into her. |
Cocoa has a few tiny kidney stones. Nancy1999 told me to add a little no-salt, low-fat chicken broth to the water. She loves it. I haven't been able to find any commercial chicken broth so I cook chicken and use the broth. ~Joanne~ |

Has he been neutered yet? The urine of intact males is pretty strong smelling. |
Chicken broth to encourage water drinking Quote:
(I have a can of broth in my pantry, and it does have salt--NOT good.) |
I was going to ask if he had been neutered too....I do rescue and there is such a difference in the odor of an intact male dog and a neutered one I could not believe it.... Also I agree the more water they drink the less the odor too.... |
HE HAS NOT BEEN NUERTERED I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO PUT A LITTLE MORE WEIGHT ON HE IS SO SMALL AND IM SCARED FOR HIM TO HAVE IT DONE HE IS 7 1/2 MTS. OLD AND NOT EVEN 3 LBS. YET WHAT TO YALL THINK ON HAVING IT DONE WITH HIM BEING SMALL :confused: |
I agree with the water intake and being neutered. I'm waiting for my Pablo to gain more weight before he gets his surgery. He is going to be 1 yr and weighs 3lbs. Average size, just skinny. |
