locket Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 So it basically says it all!In the morning, we take Jack (3 years old, been with us for 3 months) out first thing in the morning where he pees and then we go back in where he gets breakfast. Then I get ready (around half an hour or so) and we go for a walk.However, this past 2 days I have noticed that after his meal, he stretches (not unusual) then when he get back up on 4 vertical legs, a tiny bit of urine drips. It must be in total the size of 2-3 quarters. I don't know if either I haven't noticed it before or if he just started doing this, but it seems to be only after eating.I doubt it is because he have to go again in such a short time (He is not rushing on our walk). He is able to hold it all day when we are working and all night also. It really is just after eating...Is this normal? Jack doesn't even seem to notice...

Guest sireltonsmom Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I don't believe it's normal. Might be worth checking in this link http://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=900722120 or a call to your vet so whatever it is is caught early. Good luck.

cometdust1 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am going through this now. Last month my 8 year old boy came in from peeing and I noticed him licking himself for a few minutes. I walked over to check him. he was lying on his bed and when I lifted his leg to look dribbles of pee kept coming out. No visible blood. I brought him to the vet the next day and had urinalysis/ bloodwork run and it was all normal. The vet put him on antibiotics for one week just in case there was an underlying infection. The dribbling went away. Fast forward to last Friday. I notice him licking again and when I look there is thick cheesy smegma leaking from his penis and dried on the inside of his legs(gross!). So, off to the vet last night and she flushed the penile sheath about 5 times and a ton of silly putty looking goop came out! She flushed it until it was clean and put some antibiotic up there. He will be on antibiotics for two weeks and she will reflush to make sure it is resolved. I think the dribbling in his case was because there was so much goop in there that he could not pee properly. He had no change in pee habits either. Just wanted to offer my experience. Hope you find a cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locket Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Thank you!Nothing happenned yesterday, but this morning again the same thing. Out for business, breakfast, dog puzzle, then when my boyfriend was petting him - leak...I took his urine pH this morning (first pee) and it was 7.0-7.5. Doesn't confirm much... Would you recommend a urinalysis first or straight take the dog in?

tbhounds Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It could be he's just not empting his bladder completely at times. To be safe I would bring a first a.m. urine sample to your vet and have them run a urinalysis. Try to catch the urine mid stream. When was the last time he had an exam?

locket Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I confirm, he does hold a reserve for his walk. Although he does pee a significant amount in the morning and he is not rushing to go when we go for our walk half an hour later...His last exam was in December.

tbhounds Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I would book an appointment for an exam and I would bring a fresh a.m. urine sample just to rule out an infection. Let me ask you-he is drinking more before these events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locket Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) No, in the morning, he is solely taking the water I put in his kibble. I have always put more or less the same amounts and never visit the water bowl again (in the morning) Edited March 31, 2015 by locket Quote Cynthia, with Charlie (Britishlionheart) & Zorro el GalgoCaptain Jack (Check my Spots), my first love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 My guess is he's not emptying his bladder completely --he may be rushing because breakfast is waiting. If the behavior continues you should have him (and his urine) looked at. What if you feed him first then, take him out??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locket Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 We will try to feed him first thing tomorrow and let you know Quote Cynthia, with Charlie (Britishlionheart) & Zorro el GalgoCaptain Jack (Check my Spots), my first love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
