| okay so after 2 rounds of antibiotics as precautionary....a new lab work showing NO uti of any sort...x rays and a catheter to rule out any bladder stones....[COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]my [COLOR=green !important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] has been given a completely clean bill of health!! therefore the only conclusion my [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]vet[/COLOR][/COLOR] can come to is that hunter's need to go out every 15 minutes and squeeze out a few drops of pee is completely [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]behavioral[/COLOR][/COLOR]... he's definitely catching on to housebreaking and that outside is the place to [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]potty[/COLOR][/COLOR] but if he wont hold it more than 15 mins we're never gonna have a [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]house [COLOR=green !important]dog[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] that i dont have to stress about and watch 24/7!! any ideas on how to teach him to hold it longer while outside of the [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]crate[/COLOR][/COLOR]?! he does great inside the crate but goes to the door every 15 mins while outside of the crate and if i dont take him out he'll piddle on my [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]carpet[/COLOR][/COLOR]!!! the vet mentioned some kind of medication that makes the urethra (?) close up a little and make them not feel the sensation to have to go as much but i am hesitant to put him on something like that because i dont want to give him any [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]health [COLOR=green !important]issues[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] and it seems kind of cruel |

| I would get a culture and sensitivity (C&S) test. Depending on which antibiotics were prescribed, they may not have been adequate against the infection, since different ones target different types of bacteria. |

| we did val...everything came back completely normal... they did mention a medication we could try that helps dogs that have incontinence issues something about it strengthening the muscles down there... but it seems expensive and he'd have to be on it the rest of his life....i'm considering trying it though he was super good today until this evening he decided to just squat and pee in the livingroom.... i hate it....i love this dog to death but he's giving me so much stress i'm beginning to genuinely dislike him i know it's not his fault and he's either not understanding or he's stubborn but...it just sucks it's not good to have a love/hate relationship with your own dog ( because honestly if it was just me i'd rehome him but he's my daughter's dog and she'd be crushed so i cant...i just wish we could get him housebroken i hate to put that nasty belly band back on him but i'm fearing we have no other choice...i just really really really dont want to go that route again ( |
