My little girl was ill.

These last few months Jessy has been peeing on the floor but without it seemed awareness she was doing it. But it was a once in a while thing, and there seemed little if any pattern to it.
At first I'd see a puddle and wonder where it came, and it wasn't until I saw one under her that I fully understood. For she is a remarkably fussy little thing about cleanliness.
Over the weeks I saw a sort of pattern. It was on Sunday and Monday she was doing it, the rest of the week she was as usual.
 Anyhoos.
Today I went to the vet and got hormones for her. It seems all the running she was doing was causing the onset of a problem spayed bitches have with bladder and urethra. Not as I thought a pinching of her nerve, which usually occurs if she has arthritis, which she hasn't got. Luckily.

  2. Oh, bless her heart!! I'm glad the vet has a treatment plan. My first thought was a UTI, for which I treated our Rottie girl using cranberry capsules. The vet laughed, but it worked.

    Keep us posted on how she's doing.

    1. I might give that cranberry a try. It can't do any harm. He didn't check her in that way.

    1. But she only does it early in the week. The rest she's contained. That was why it seems potentially so serious. Not that a UTI isn't but a dose of antibiotics would clear it up.

  4. Glad you got her to the vet and hope she’s well on the way to recovery, It’s hard when they can’t tell us what’s hurting them!
