 Alert | | I will be making an appointment to take my six year old boxer to the vet this week. He seems to have an incontinence problem. He has always been a lazy dog, and even when he was younger he would dribble a little on his way outside. He hasn't done it in years. He has started up again. Take last night for example; he was sleeping, and he jumped up and ran out the doggie door. He left a little trail all the way out. My thought is he knows he is supposed to go outside (he ran out afterall), so could he have an infection or something? | | | |

Alert | | He very well might have an infection. Take him to the vet, have a u/a done and further testing if necessary. Incontinence is very treatable! There are two vets in town, call both for a quote. Maricopa Animal Hospital 520-568-2224 (my preference) or Maricopa Wells Animal Hospital 520-568-6645. | |

Alert | Yes, he may have a UTI, but if he's been doing this all his life, he more than likely was neutered too young. That is a very common issue that comes along w/ puppies being neutered when they are very young.
I'd rather deal w/ that problem than a slew of unwanted puppies because of a non-neutered dog though! | | | |

Alert | | Well, I have an appointment for him this week. I just wondered because he hadn't done it for a while - that I noticed. I have no idea how old he was when he was neutered since we rescued him. Thanks!! | | | |
