lewis 682 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi all, I have taken the plunge and bought a black lab dog, iwas supposed to be waiting till spring but couldn't help meself. plus being quiet at work means i can spend a bit of time at home with him. Anyhow, the problem being he is peeing for Britain!! it just seems to be constant, only a thimble full or less, no indication just squat then dribble! Put him outside soon has i pull him out the cage & hes having a big wee & a poo which is good, but soon as i bring him in the kitchen of we go again, runs roun stops pees & so on. The dogs only seven wks old, but i have never had a lurcher pup like this! I have been leaving his water down 24/7 because he is on dry biscuit, is this right? I am probably just being a fanny but just thought i'd ask those in the know. any advice would be appreciated thanks Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sounds like your pup has either a bladder infection, or weak bladder control. I expect you are in to the Vets for his first shots next week so they can do a quick check on the bladder infection front then. If it is just under developed muscle control then it will come as he grows. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis 682 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks NTTF, Joe's booked into vets next friday for his first jab. I will tell the vet, do you think it would be worth taking him in sooner? what are the chances of this going worse? Other than having to start wearing waders, just dont want the little chap suffering. Thanks for your advice! ps Spent half the night reading your dog training threads, they are very good and well explained, especialy for a newbie CHEERS LEWIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new to the flock Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Flip him over and have a look first at the shieth....see if there is any build up of greenie/yellow discharge in the end and on the hair. Also check the end of his penis to see if it is sore and red looking. If so book him and let the Vet have a look. NTTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis 682 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks for the replies, im thinking probably weak bladder now, no sign of any other probs. Ta, Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
