dianed Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Over the last couple of weeks my 12 yo has become incontinent, after she gets up from her bed there is a wet patch which smells heavily of ammonia. Last summer the same thing occurred and I took her to the vet thinking she had a uti but the tests came back negative.She was licking herself but this year she is not, I did put some ural in her water if I remember rightly. Funny thing is, its happened at the same time of year, all through winter she was fine. Is there any other reason for the strong ammonia smell?

dianed Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Her water intake has not changed, nor is she showing any signs of not feeling well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 the strong smell with a healthy dog is often because they have held on for longer then normal. Are you sure she is weeing like normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianed Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Becks thanks, yes I think holding on for too long may be part of the problem, at her age she prefers to sleep and doesnt want to be disturbed. I,ve been making her go outside more and its lessened the spills on her bedding. Everything else seems ok with her, I get a bit edgy as 3 years ago she had her spleen removed with a stage 2 Hemangiosarcoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
