| Sleepy time wetting? My Sookie is about 6 months old, I have had her for 5 months, and she is one of the smartest dogs I have ever had. She is pad trained almost completely, and it took very little to teach her. She is usually very good at stopping whatever she is doing and finding the nearest pad to potty, But more and more lately she has begun having issues in her sleep. She loves to cuddle and lay either right next to me on the couch or more often on my very pregnant tummy, but as she sleeps she has been having more accidents! I see a lot of posts of this problem for older dogs but Sookie is still just a baby. Is this something that needs a vet visit? Or something she will grow out of? Please no bashing, I would take her straight to the vet to be sure but I am very tight on money. (My mother spent a good amount on our yorkie but she bonded with me and I am the one who cares for her 24/7) |

| Take her to the vet ASAP! My boy did this when he was 18 months old. If she is wetting herself in her sleep, it could be a UTI. My vets have said that UTIs are much more common in girls than in boys. Also, don't wait until it progresses from UTI to something more severe, as that can cause them to have blood in their urine. Even if it is behavioral, you won't know for sure until you can be assured your puppy is physically fine. Also, some vets do low cost clinic hours. I remember taking Kaji to low cost clinic hours when we lived near my alma mater. The vet fees were slightly reduced which was a huge help to this then poor college student.

| My friends male was doing something similar. If he would wake him when he was sleeping and startle him, he would piddle on the floor. He was an adopted dog, so he was wondering if the dog had been beaten and was scared. He was diagnosed with a UTI the other week, so I am not sure if he is still piddling if he gets startled awake....but I am betting that it had something to do with the UTI because he didn't always do it. You definitely want to take her to the vet. |
