I can smell her urine before I see it. But for a few times now, when she's on the bed, she can lay down and wet herself. Like it's out of her control. The thing is, there is no odor what so ever. So to me, this is some other kind of fluid, but from where? It started when she was pregnant a few years ago. I thought her water had broken. Since then, she's been spayed, and it's happended a few other times. Has anyone else had this problem or experienced this?
Answers:
I would take her to the vet to be checked out. She may be having a urinary tract infection, kidney troubles, or bladder stones, among other things. Your vet should be able to give her medication to help with incontinence.
This is normal in this breed of dog. I had a pekingese who did the same thing before as I told you in the other thread. They dont mean to do it but its just something that happens. There isnt anything you can do. I took my pekingese to the vet and the vet told me the only thing you can do is not let her on the bed. It could be that she doesnt want to get down or just that when she gets comfortable it pushes on there stomach. Either way its normal and as long as it isnt a puddle of urine dont worry about it. Just love her and let her know that you understand and you love her.

My Pekingese ate half of my Petroleum Jelly jar!?
My Pekingese ate half of my Petroleum Jelly jar! I just found it on my closet and he was licking it. It's half gone now! HE hasn't pooped on 2 days, i wonder if it's because of the petrolem jelly! Does anybody know if petroleum jelly does any harm to dogs? It says to contact the poison center if consumed by human but i don't know if it's the same with dogs.
Answers:
You can call this from anywhere, even if you are outside of USA> K-State's College of Veterinary Medicine has a free, 24-hour animal poison control hotline at 785-532-5679 that puts worried pet owners and other veterinarians in touch with three K-State veterinary toxicologists.
I would call immediately.
Contact your vet, I am certain he has heard of this happening before.
it probably won't do him any harm but when he finally poops i bet it's going to be nasty!
No he didn't. He wouldn't because it would not taste good to him
You are trying to be "funny".
You are not.
.
You should take him to the vet, could cause intestinal blockage, that stuff is thick.
go to the vet.. and have ur dog check..
They have the crazy thing in my neighborhood called a VETERNARIAN. Call them now. They should have a 24 Call Center for Emergencies. And you can try the Poison Center Number. If it can harm a full grown human, I would think the possiblity exists that it could harm a dog that weights less than 10 Lbs.
You can call the Vet for Free if it is harmful then you may have to take them in. If not they should tell you.
Just dont let him outside... he might squeeze throught the fence really really easy now.
but seriously, don't worry, Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is an excellent digestive lubricant. It will allow all the other household items that your dog ate to pass easily. But if mucous starts coming out of his butt, take him to the vet.
I would call an animal hospital in the area if you have one. Simply explain to them what has happened, and they will be able to advise you what to do from there.
Are you serious? Maybe he was hungry or knew he had not pooped in two days so that is why he just now ate your vaseline.
You'd be amazed at some of the things dogs try to ingest/eat, and the number of cases that are similar to this.
In any case, I'm not sure exactly what's in the contents of the jar, but it would be best to call your veterinarian and ask him about it asap.
Also watch for any signs of vomiting, diahrrea, excessive urination or abnormal behavior. If any of these symptoms show up, see your veterinarian immediately.
It's not poisonous to dogs. My friend in Canada had a terrible experience when her dog ate a used condom at the local park. She rang her vet and he told her to put vaseline on a couple of slices of bread. It apparently lubricates everything. I would be very carefull where you leave him, make sure he can get outside to the toilet.

My pekingese (3 years old) has begun drooling over the past couple of days.?
I live in SC and the weather has recently soared into the high 80s. My air condition in my house is not working properly either. Is my baby just really hot and trying to cool down or is something really wrong with her? Please help!
Answers:
My Peke's do that from time to time. I have 2 females and 1 male, and when one of the girls are in heat, my male never stops drooling. They all do it in the summer too, usually when it is hot. I have also known them to drool when they were constipated. It might not be a bad thing, but you should probably take the baby to the vet! At least call your vet and see what they have to say. Good luck!
She *might* be having seizures. Have you changed the cleaning products in your home recently, or have they sprayed the trees near your home recently? This may be a reaction to chemicals. A vet visit is, of course, in order.
If heat related Draping her with a wet towel just do not let it dry or it sould retain more heat, you could also use a large empty plastic pop bottle fill with water and freeze , wrap in a towel and lay it next to her to help cool her.
Excess drooling could also be a result of bad teeth, in certain breeds teeth problems are common if you can take a look at her mouth red swollen gums/bad breath could indicate a need to see the vet for a dental, it probably would not be a bad idea just to have her checked out by the vet anyway just to be sure there is nothing else going on, as extreme panting could be a sign of pain as well, even if it proves to be just heat related it would at least ease your mind knowing all is well

My partner sometimes sleeps in the spare bed because he gets too hot at night but.......?
my dog pees on the spare bed in the mornings does anyone have any ideas why and no silly answers please cos its doing my head in.
Answers:
it's definitely a territorial thing with the dog- keep it out of the bedrooms
my advice regarding your partner is quite the opposite- keep him in- try lighter bed covers - window open - both wearing cotton - electric fan - get him to sleep with arm and leg out of covers-buy a bigger bed- dress the bed with a cotton sheet under the quilt so he can throw off th quilt his side- don't let him get used to sleeping in the spare bed!
It may be your partner and he blames the doggie.
Youd dog wants to let you know its his bed and not your partners.
because you probbaly smother your dog with 'love' and he thinks he's the head of the family, so he's marking his terrotory.
when your partner sleeps in the bed to stop them feeling so hot tell them to drink plenty of water and keep one arm out of the bed when they sleep.
dogs use urine to mark their territory
Dog is marking his territory...sorry...maybe he is trying to tell yur partner something?
When ever it pees in your bed, hit it with a newspaper roll and hard and make sure its face is close to the pee he or she did and put or in a cage. that is what i do with my puppy when she pees out of place to train her
my dog use to pee indoors (god rest his soul), always in the same spot. i think it must be marking his territory, get some advice from an expert, and stop him going into the spare bedroom.
Jealousy and territoriality. Your partner and your dog are fighting for the "Alpha dog" position, only your partner probably doesn't even know it!
Should the dog be allowed upstairs and into the bedrooms? If you don't want it to pee all over the bed then keep it out! it's an animal not a child and should comply to your rules not rule the roost.
He probably pees on the bed to cover up the smell of your partner. He is being territorily towards your partner and making sure that he knows who owns that bed. My mothers cats pee on all of my fathers clothes, towels and anything else that he has touched since they have seperated. Before that they didn't pee on anything but now they cover up his scent as soon as they can. You should probably stay in the spare bed with your partner for awhile and make the dog sleep on the floor so he will understand that your partner is a member of the pack and is also one of his leaders. Good luck! Just remember that it is not as bad as cat pee!
I don't really know as there could be various reasons, it could be that there is a scent in the room or on the bed and the dog is marking it's territory, that i think would be the most plausable one.
Isay this from experience of getting a rescue dog, a male border collie that was found as a stray. The first day we had him he did the usual things a new pet does, invetigates the house, went into our bedroom sniffed around and promptly pee'ed up the cupboard, then went out.
So i got some zoflora disinfectant and rubbed it neat onto the cupboard..
we've had him for 11 weeks now and he has'nt done that again.
There could be a smell on the bed that the dog needs to mark as his own.
After all that's what they do outside.
There could be other reasons though not just mine.
Hope it helps
Is it a sex wee? That would be naughty..
tarritory. all dogs especially males pee on thing that they think is there territory you dog probobly thinks he is dominant over your partner
And you let it pee there, i take mine out for a walk, maybe your husband is attracted toi pee smelling stuff, sorry but you should tell him! Glad i don't work with the guy!!!!
Well when people tell your husband he is number 1 he can be confident that it is true. Lets hope he does not become #2. Your dog is marking that spot as his.
sounds like he's marking his territory
make sure you keep the dog out of the bedroom

My Parson Russell Dog is in pain! Vet says he has injured his neck and just gave a painkilling injection!?
He keeps crying, so is obviously in pain. Will not let me give him any of the painkilling tablets given by the vet. He screams is I touch anywhere around his head or try to pick him up and he is holding his head stiffly with his ears back. It's a bank holiday this weekend, but should I contact the vet again as I am very worried about him?
Answers:
If he's in enough pain that you can't touch him you should try to find an emergency vet. If he's comfortable enough on his own, contact your vet as soon as possible and let them know that you are unable to medicate your dog. There are other options to tablets. Don't pick him up and avoid touching the sensitive area if at all possible. Let him rest and keep him quiet until you find help for him.
Ohhh poor thing.
Try wrapping the tablets in a piece of lunchmeat and just sticking it in his mouth. We used to do this with our cats and it seems to do the trick. If he drops it, and he's not a biter, try again---only this time, keep your hand in front of his mouth so he can't drop it, and has to chew and swallow. If he IS a biter, call the vet and ask if it is safe to crush the pill and mix it with water/beef broth. If it is, mix it with one of these. If the dog won't drink on his own, get a baby syringe and squirt it into his mouth--he naturally will swallow it.
Keep him comfy and still as much as possible. Sleep on the floor with him tonight so that he won't try to find you or anything. It will also keep him feeling safe, and make it easier for you to get him outside to use the bathroom if need be.
Did the vet say what kind of injury it was? He may need surgery or something to "realign" his neck.
Hope he gets better soon!

My parents Palm/palmerian and my dog?
I summitted a request for help with my parent small Palmeranian agression with my mid size mix dog George..
Sorry for the confussion of the Palm.. tree or horse... lol ooops
Answers:
I have a small Pomeranian also. She is about 6 pounds. My husband has beagles. She is not afraid of the beagles and shows them who is boss when they come inside. Any dog that is smaller then her, she is afraid of. What I have done to help the situation is hold Bella when the other come in and tell her "NO" when she crawls at them and tries to bite them. She is learning that she needs to get along with the others and isn't quite as aggressive now. It is a part of the Pomeranian character to protect their owner but with the right guidance, they also want to please their owners so will learn fast what will please your parents and will stop being so aggressive with your dog. Have them give their dog a treat whenever it does not get aggressive and it will associate the treat with the good behavior and thing will work out for all of you.
Pomeranian?, oops sorry. I thought you were talking about a horse or a dog. Still you need to respect the pack order, prehaps there was not enough socilisation when the dogs were young, so they don't understand each others body language. Dogs will often snap while they are sorting dominance out, just try to use distractions and give both dogs attention.

My parents hate animals but to make my life complete, i need a puppy...what should i do?
Answers:
go play with them at the pet store or animal shelter.
go to a friend's house that has a dog.
because you won't be able to take the dog to college
and your parents will get stuck with it.
ifyou can move out and get your own pet-friendly apartment then you can get a puppy. if you are still financially dependent on parents then you can't get one of your own. start saving your money for when you can move out.
Having a puppy in the house is asking a lot of everyone, maybe you can compromise and ask for a hamster or something else that is smaller and can be easily confined to your room?
bother them till they get tired
If you live with your parents and they say no, you should probably not get a dog. Although when I was a teenager I would bring home pets and say (oooh its just till we find it a better home!!! lol six years later we still have the same pets)! That worked greaat for me!
Show that you are very responsible by taking care of the house ect.You can also show by trying to buy a puppy of your own saving you money and also getting a job.
If you are old enough and want a dog, the best thing would be to move out of your parents house. If you are still in school, then abide by your parents rules and wait until you can have a pup when you move out. There is absolutely no reason for you to get a dog for it to end up in the pound, there are too many there already.
Also, if you want to be around dog's but cannot have one of your own, why don't you advertise locally as a dog walker/sitter, or volunteer at your local Human Society? There are alot of options for you if you cannot have a dog at this time.
Unless you can reason with your parents, it doesn't appear that while you're a kid you will have a puppy. But, shelters all always looking for people to play with, walk, take care of and love the puppies and dogs who are waiting in cages to be adopted. You could make their lives richer while they wait. Find a rescue which is sometimes done at the rescuer's home, they need lots of help as they do this out of the kindness of their hearts. You may be able to feel more complete loving %26 helping these puppies.
volunteer with a dog rescue orginization in your area, show your parents how much dogs mean to you and how well you can take care of one. But most importantly, don't push the issue
Get your own place and pay the pet deposit.
Well I would have to follow your parents wishes. They rule the household and as long as you're living under their roof. You have to follow their rules. I have been in the same situation at one time or another. It isn't fair to the pet to deal with people who don't care for animals. Dogs especially require alot of care. What if you decide to go out of town? I guess you can take your dog with you.
I was living with my parents and as soon as I moved out on my own I got myself a Bulldog. Maybe your parents were never around animals or when they were kids they were forced to clean after spot because of doing his business.
i keept begging my mom for 2years!!
and we finally got a puppy who is 4months!
Why do you need a puppy?
Maybe explain why you need a puppy
I told teenagers that want babies to get a puppy
Good luck
volunteer at an animal shelter until you move out and can get your own pet
