peeing in bed

[kera09]

So eric is out of town for work this week. Ava snuggled up very close to me last night, she then moved over to the other side, i thought she just wanted to move until i moved my leg into a big wet spot!!! this was @4 am i was to tired so grabbed a towel, i know how gross! We fell back asleep and then she did it again i wanted to kill her! i put her outside where she peed again and changed the sheets and waterproof mattress cover!! she has never done this before, im thinking it could be a urinary tract infection im going to watch her. anybody have any ideas?

I'm thinking UTI...I would have her checked....is she drinking more than normal?

or maybe spay incontinence. Either way worth taking in a fresh(as fresh as possible) sample of urine to the vet...

shes not drinking any more then normal, im gona keep an eye on her the next 2 days and if shes still doing it i will take her to the vet on friday!

increased thirst in combination with incontinence could mean there is involvement with the kidneys.

If she has a UTI there may be no other signs besides incontinence, straining to urinate (she thinks she has to go but doesn't-wich can also be hard to see with girls), and foul smelling urine.

If it were my dog, I would take her in. Any time a well house trained and reliable dog has an accident (particularly one that she wasn't intially aware of - like if she had intentionally squatted), IMO it is cause for concern, either to remedy the discomfort (this is a mild word) of a UTI or catch something else early...

she hasnt had any other accidents....and is pottying fine outside (im going out with her to watch her) Now last nite lulu peed in bed...ahhhh usually she sneaks in the hallway and doesnt even bother to wake me.....im thinking this may be because eric is gone! i have no idea. im gona give the vet a call in the am.
