Dog in heat - urinating

[LolasPuppet]

Oh, problems with Lola just don't stop. Because she's had a couple of problems since we got her (first allergies, then a hot spot), there was no appropriate time to spay her, so now she's having her 1st heat (will get her spayed ASAP after this).


The problem is that it's 8 or 9 days now into the cycle, and for the last 2 or 3 days she started peeing in the house. Not just marking, but real pee. Weather is bad (raining), so it's difficult at times to make her go pee outside (she hates rain), but her peeing in the house still seems abnormal. (note that she never peed in the house before this)

Is this normal with bitches in heat?

hm no cant say sarah has ever done this. she still went outside to pp. of course she goes on her pee pads when noone is home but no not when we were home. maybe someone else will have info on this.

Some times they do pee more often when in heat plus their hormones are all going crazy, so just be patient.

Emma was my first girl in heat in 30 years so I'm no help there. She really didn't pee anymore that I noticed but she did have a mishap or two. If Lola isn't getting out to pee because of the weather then she has to go somewhere and in the house it is. Be patient and if you have to go outside with her and hold an umbrella then do it.....I have done that with my guys before. Well the umbrella is over me.

[MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION]: I was patient the 1st, 2nd and 3rd time it happened in the past 2 or 3 days. But now it happened twice in 2 hours. I'll wait and see what tomorrow brings, with taking her out every 2 hours ... (today it was very rainy and windy during the whole day)

[MENTION=2014]JeannieCO[/MENTION]: Unfortunately, she HATES the umbrella. Tried it many times, she doesn't like it for some reason ...

Well dang then. I have been known to boot mine out and then I'll go stand under a tree to make sure they go. Sometimes we'll take them to the front yard to pee too when it's raining or snowing.

Damn, I took her out, forced her to be under rain, didn't want to pee ... Now, half an hour later, she just peed in the middle of the living room WHILE walking! And it was quite a lot. First just a lil' bit of blood, then a FULL pee.

Should I consider it heat-related problems, or could it be something else?

 

[Sherry]

I would consider it to be heat related,??? the moods and hormones during and after heat in some bitches can be extreme, if she still does it when it stops raining, be diligent. Hope she starts to behave on her own soon. I've had some that after a cycle will try to nurse their toys even take them outside with them. Be patient and have her spayed when this is over. Hang in there.

I don't know much about dogs in heat but I would say it is that also when she is done being in heat if she is still doing this get her checked for UTI.
