17 Aug, 2010 stress urinary incontinence

i had a bichon frise for most of my life, and he always went pee a lot and pee’d a lot in the house and at innapropriate times, and it was always small puddles or when he was mad at us, now my new dog, lilly, was a rescued dog. the vet said she is about 3-4 years old, she was abused badly and is comfortable around me and my boyfriend now after having her for a year, but she pee’s so much! she hasnt been fixed, and i dont intend on getting her fixed at this point in her life i think it will only traumatize her more and i dont want to put her through that, so the bleeding i can deal with and the peeing i can deal with. she is a little overweight and she is generally a peppy dog. she gets nervous a lot, being that she has a little chihuahua in her. she has always pee’d in the house ever since we got her and we have trained her to go outside without her leash now so we let her out a lot. but if we were to let her out as much as she pee’d we would be getting up every 15 minutes to let her out to pee a dime sized spot. it is ruining my carpet and making my house smell HORRIBLE. i just used a rug doctor last month and already my house stinks of pee. i have been noticing that since she has been in heat she has been peeing in smaller amounts and she will move to different spots to pee like the same sized pee spots but in different areas of the house. she doesnt seem to act hurt or as if she is in any pain. she pants a lot and she drinks a fair amount of water. i was just wondering if this behavior is normal, she just seems so like tense and under stress like she is never able to calm down, i just dont know since ive never had a pomeranian before, i am sure it is normal for a dog in heat and a dog who has been abused before, but i just dont know what to do, i dont want to punish her because she is scared enough, so i just tell her bad and clap and tell her o go outside, i guess my question is, is this normal behavior for a smaller dog or even a female dog in heat? to act high strung and pee? she doesnt seem sick or in pain or anything like that, she is completely normal, given the normal that i know her to be, minus the peeing so much. she always pees a lot but its so much more right now and very hard to keep up with, and my second question is what is a GREAT EXCELLENT way to get the urine smells and stains out of my carpet. i have tried EVERY cleaner on the market and to no avail have i found one that works amazingly. third question, is there any cheaper supplements i could give her if she has a urinary tract infection or even urinary incontinence that would clear up any infection? i dont want to give her antibiotics even if it is one because those cause more harm than good id rather give her something to drink or eat or even a vitamin that could clear it up. any advise would be appreciated!

Take a specimen of the dog’s urine to the vet. She may have a urinary tract infection.

The only explination I can think of is that your dog is marking it’s territory. Through a dogs eyes you and whoever lives with you are it’s pack, and your dog must think that she is the leader. she is trying to mark everything as her own and you must stop this at once. A lot of training is required to put a dog back in it’s place, but it will make the dog feel a lot more happier and secure. She needs to know that you are her leader.

It’s very likely this is all down to a urinary tract infection, and like it or not, she will need antibiotics to clear this up!

Two things stand out here – why no antibiotics when she clearly needs them for all this peeing, and why no spay, when ditto!! At 3/4, she’s in no way too late to be spayed – most of my girls were done when they were over 5 because they were brood bitches. However, once they were retired, they were ALWAYS spayed. If only to stop all the need to confine twice a year and to stop any chance of false pregnancies, which pulls them down – to say nothing of the risk (which obviously was already greater as they were older) of late life female cancers. Sadly I did lose one to mammary cancer, but she was in her 13th year. I’m surprised your were allowed to rescue her, without her being spayed first!!

Get her in to your vet, take a sample of her pee with you so they can check to see exactly what’s going on, and treat her properly …… and GET HERE SPAYED – tomorrow!! Antibiotics, prescribed, and used correctly, do not ’cause more harm than good’. Withholding treatment will, however, do just that.

First, where did you adopt this dog? Any rescue group or shelter would spay a dog before adopting it out. She is old enough for it. So I am suspicious. Small dogs do pee more often but not every 15 minutes. There is an underlying disease your dog is suffering.

Second, if she pees that often, you must take the dog to the vet for a check up. It could be UTI, bladder infection, crystals forming in bladder, diabetes, thyroid problem, or canine cushings. Pay the money and take the dog to the vet and find out what is wrong. She could be suffering. UTI and bladder stones can be extremely painful. If needed, antibioitics are in order. I do not know of any "cheaper supplement" or vitamin that will cure a disease/ilness.
