Guest greytone Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hey guys, I am having some problems with my old guy peeing in the house. I know its because of his heart meds. He used to bark when he had to go out and now he just goes into my laundry room and does his business. Where can I buy a belly band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonder Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 You can do a search on Amazon- I just bought some washable diapers for Passion this morning.

Tallgreydogmom Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 We take in Seniors and special needs greyhounds so have these problems. They usually set themselves up with an emergency potty area. In your case the laundry room. We lay reusable incontinence pads down in their area. We lay down a double layer or triple layer. We can just pick up the soiled pad and place in the washer. With layering you are ready for the next emergency as you may forget to lay down a fresh one. He can not help it when he has to go and probably feels really bad about going in the house. It's like a person on Lasix. No time to bark, gotta go. I have used belly bands but feel bad they are old and going around wet. This could also bring on a UTI.

a_daerr Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I agree with the suggestion above. Belly bands (unless they're lined with a maxi pad or something) are breeding grounds for bacteria when they get wet. F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgrey Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 If he's on a diuretic for his heart, he won't be able to hold it and may even leak in his sleep. My weimaraner did when she had to do on lasix. I used a belly band with a human incontinence pad inside it for my boy, Cruz, when he became incontinent during the last stages of kidney failure. I bought the generic version of the Poise Pads at a local grocery store. They did not leak if the belly band was snug and the pad soaked up the urine so it didn't touch his skin (they will hold a lot of urine BTW). His skin was never wet when I changed him and it never showed any sign of irritation. I did wipe him down with baby wipes a couple of times a day.

Invacare ® Extra Reusable Bedpads ISG13452 (Each) Size : 34" x 52" Capacity : Absorbs 2300 cc Thank so much for the suggestion of the reusable bedpads. I never thought about that. I think Freddie choose the laundry room because our backdoor is there and we have owned our house for 2 years (so not that long). However, the previsous owners had 5 dogs and all were afraid of storms. They would close the dogs off in the laundry room during the storm (and their dogs did their business in there) and to this day, I still can't get the smell of pee out of the floor. I am thinking about tearing up the floor and putting new in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
