dog urinates while walking
sorry for the x-post, but i'm not sure if this issue is behavioral or
medical. is it unusual for a male dog to urinate while walking? Manu does this sometimes, in the house, and he doesn't even seem to notice it. could this be a health problem? he did this when we first got him, and had finally stopped for a couple of months (i thought due to training), but has started again in the last few days. i'm kind of at a loss, as he asks to go out when he needs to, and i thought he was housebroken. he doesn't lift a leg when doing it, so it doesn't seem like typical marking. sometimes he will walk the length of the hallway, just meandering along, as though he doesn't even know he's leaving a trail behind him. he's a 14 month old, neutered pit bull/lab mix, and became the second dog in our household about six months ago. any suggestions? -kelly |

I've had two dogs in class (males) who did this. One was neutered quite a while ago and just started doing it, so I sent her to her vet to check for a UTI. The other one was doing it from the time he was adopted, and the vet said it was behavioral, not medical. I disagreed. She went back to her vet. Seems he began it right after neutering. Occasionally this will happen, and there are meds that control it. The vet changed his mind and put him on the meds, and there is no more "leaking." I also had an adult female who started submissive urination for no apparent reason. The vet could find nothing wrong with her. I asked a bazillion questions, and found out that the owner had changed her diet. (From Eukanuba to a store brand.) I told her to switch back, that there may be something in the new food that's irritating her bladder. Two weeks after being back on the Eukanuba, she stopped.

Eukanaba IS a store brand. Hills Science Diet works the best.

"Nevyn" wrote in message .. . Eukanaba IS a store brand.
