Major pee issue

[wfd38383]

So the last two days Guinness has peed EVERWHERE every 10 minutes, even when he hasn't been drinking. Saturday morning he peed the crate for the first time ever, but to his defense I overslept and he was in his crate for 10 1/2 hours so i couldn't blame him for that one. Saturday he peed all over the house without warning. This morning he peed in his crate and he was in his crate the normal 8 hours. This is something he has NEVER done before ever. Then he must have peed in the house 15-20 times today, literally. Every ten minutes just piss wherever he is. He has been constantly sniffing the floor. I don't know what to do with him. I have him locked in his crate right now because he can't stop peeing all over the house. What do I do? Is this something that I should contact a vet about? I'm at a loss, I dont want to let him out his cage for the scare that he pee everywhere, but I feel horrible locking him up

He might have a urinary track infection, I would take him to the vet first thing in the morning and get him on antibiotics.

Oh my.... he may be smelling his spots and deciding to start marking. All you can really do about this is continue to focus your pain on the mess.... FREAK OUT about it.... let him know this is NOT acceptable. When you wipe it up on the paper towel/towel, show it to him, by making him smell it. He should turn his head and try to get away from it. Continue to freak out about it. You must make it so that he understands you HATE THIS WITH A PASSION, no ifs and or butts about it. Remember to show most of your anger toward the mess- not him so much. Otherwise he may use it later to get attention (even if it is bad attention!)

Oh that is possible too @bjsfarm... nice thinking. When you are cleaning up the puddles are they yellow or orange??

[wfd38383]

they are def yellow, could tell on the white couch!!!

You could take him in to be sure, but usually with a UTI the pee will have blood in it. But maybe it has not gone that far yet. Does he look like he is straining when he goes?

[Bella Cows Mama]

I'd bring a urine sample to the vet. Bella did this and she peed every 10 minutes or so and it turned out to be a UTI! Just make sure he's drinking LOTS of water and wake up with him more than usual at night while he is healing. If it is a UTI they will prescribe antibiotics but it took bella almost 2 1/2 weeks for it to be completely out of her system. I would bet money this is what he has too. Keep us update. I hope he feels better soon.

BTW. When Bella had her UTI she still peed yellow until she had it for 2 days and blood started to come out too. Then I finally took her in and figured out what it was.

[wfd38383]

luckily there is no blood in it right now..he is sleeping in his crate i will bring him out every few hours to hopefully cut down on the chances he has an accident

[Momma2Bullet]

ugh hopefully you get this figured out very soon.

I hope it gets better. Could be a UTI but my bully is almost a year and he is marking and driving me nuts. I have to watch him constantly.

[wfd38383]

@mammyglicks he has never done this before and it's almost like he cannot control it...he isn't spinning in circles or even squating he is just walking around and boom, pee. and it's a little dribble here a little dribble there. even when he goes outside he is stopping to pee multiple times and the final couple times nothing even comes out...poor little guy
