Check for underlying diseases when pets are incontinent
05.10.11
Allie is a 5-year-old Labrador retriever pass over who sleeps beside her caretakers' bed.
Over the last 10 days or so, Dan has awoken to a open-handed wet spot on the carpet next to his side of the bed where Allie sleeps.
Apparently, Allie is urinating where she sleeps. When Dan has confronted Allie, she cowers and skulks away.
It sounds like Allie has urinary parcel incontinence. I suspect she is quite embarrassed, judging by her behavior. One can (and should) only be conscious of pity for their pet when something like this happens. Allie certainly does not necessitate to urinate in the bedroom.
Sometimes, an underlying disease leads to superfluity urination and, as a result, urination in inappropriate locations. Often, one of the symptoms associated with some of these virus processes is increased thirst.
When a dog drinks more water, it unaffectedly will have to urinate more frequently and produce more overall urine mass. This can happen with diabetes or other hormonally based diseases such as Cushing's. Kidney contagion can lead to increased thirst followed by increased urination. Sometimes with bacterial urinary critique infections, dogs will urinate more frequently and sometimes drink more as well. The irritation associated with infection in the bladder will induce the increased frequency of urination. Any of these processes as well as others could be the problem.
