pee and butt issues

[K and Racey]

Went on a long weekend vacation and left the pup with the in-laws (who I trust to take care of her as well as I would).

 

First issue they had was her peeing everytime they let her out of her kennel. She is used to being kenneled while we are at work, so I dont think that was the issue. And she wasn't being left in there for more than 3 hours at a time, so thats not the issue either because at home shes had to hold it for 5 hours and was fine. One day, she was only in there for 40 minutes while Ryans sister ran to the grocery store. As soon as she got back, Racey peed. It's like she has a very weak bladder and can't hold it when she gets excited. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

The second issue looks like the onset of hemorroids. Her little b******* is really agitated. Any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks!!!

Does she always pee when excited?  If she's not familiar with them or in a new environment it could be scared/nervous, possibly an infection. 

If there's swelling near the anal glands they may be impacted and inflamed.  If her poop is to soft it may not put enough pressure on the glands to express them when goes.  If it hurts when she poops she might not go as much, which could make it worse.  I would have the vet check her and make sure she's not impacted.

You might need to have the anal glands expressed or perhaps if it is bad you will need surgery.  This happened for my previous dog.  I would make a vet appointment immediately b/c you do not want them to rupture.

We had a dog that whimpered so much in her kennel, that she had hemorroids from whinning! We received a cream/ointment from the vet, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately, she either got out of our yard, or someone took her, and we could never find her :( Hope Racey is back to her normal self, now that ya'll are home!

As far as the peeing thing goes, it could just be "glee pee".  Oscar is a few weeks older and he has problems holding it when he gets very excited.  It doesn't happen with us but when he sees someone new or his "grandparents" he dribbles on their shoes almost every time.  It is so embarassing but the vet and many other owners that I have talked to say that most of them outgrow it as their bladder gets stronger...  She may just have been so excited and out of sorts that she can't control it... Sorry I don't have a fix for you, but at least it's possible that it is as simple as that and not a serious issue...    I have heard trainers say to ignore them somewhat and not talk "baby talk" to them until they have emptied their bladder.  Which is so hard because they are so cute and happy to see us! 

I don't know about the bottom thing...  Sorry!  I hope your vet has some easy answers for you...

others advice sounds good would definitely have a vet check for infection ect.

 

another possibility is that she has just learned to pee every time she is let out. at first my puppy would pee every time she came out of her crate i think she had learned to associate coming out with peeing. she peed outside i took her out and she peed there but she had that association. no infection or anything. my puppy also does submissive peeing which i do't think she has much control over. it is a puppy bladder combined with excitement. she only does it when we have visitores and only with some visitors the trainer suggested whenever people come over we take puppy out back before opening door for visitors and then instruct visitors to talk in calm voices and not be too high pitched so that zeb will be better able to control her bladder and not make any associations with peeing in the house when people visit. also to never punish her for the peeing since she really has very little control over it. just try to make it so that if it does happen it is in the appropriate place.

 

i don't know anything about the other issue but hope you have resolved it or found out cause.
