AberFowl Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Took our 5year old pointer bitch for a good walk as usual this morning with the old lab down by the river for a change and did a few retrieves from the water, she enjoyed it and was charging about as usual, splashing around in the shallows with the old lab.. Now when we go home and dried them off they both went and settled in their beds as usual...fast forward an hour or so and the pointer is up and into another bed in the other room, the bed she was initially on has a large patch of pee on so I get her up from current bed and this also has an albeit smaller patch of pee... Any ideas what this can be? She hasn't wet in the house since been a very very young pup!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Could it be where the dog is taking in a lot of water whilst swimming if retrieving with mouth open? My dog often needs a wee after a lot of swimming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footu Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 also depends on water temp, colder need to pee more. Happens when i go diving, go deep and blood shunts to centre to avoid heat loss- (might also be a pressure effect), more fluid centrally bladder fills. when surfacing you need to pee.

gazbev Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I think it might be swallowing water, my springer used to do it a lot early in training swimming with his gob open coughing and spluttering He has got better but if I take him home I have to be mindful to let him out a while after we get back from some swimming and he pees for England so you are not on your own. Hope this is the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
