I have 4 dogs and I keep them separated when not at home. It hasn’t changed the way they act towards each other when I am home. Pets in some ways are like people and like time to themselves. In my experience my pets don’t seem to mind having a little alone time. And it does prevent the more aggressive ones from bullying the others when I can’t supervise.

Thank you! He’s stopped for now!

Hi Zoe…Bit of a mystery! I assume bloods covered her kidneys; bladder, liver?

Have you taken a urine sample of testing?

Ia she drinking more than normal? Has she been tested for diabetes?

Has she been spayed? If not possible uterine infection? 

Other than that I hope our Vet Krista answers! 

Hope your Cocker recovers soon! 

Hi Zoe….right so all the tests are clear. Blood in the urine occasionally too? Somethings going on then….

This might sound silly but when you said she doesn’t know if she wants a wee or a pooh? That smacks of pressure somewhere to me…possibly her spine….but that doesn’t account for the blood in her urine does it. Are you sure the blood is in her urine and not coming from her bottom? Any blood in her pooh at all? Could it be a bowel problem?  Is she in pain, back slightly hunched over? Shes moving and jumping on sofa with no problems? 

Have you considered a referral to a specialist for an MRI scan? Might be the only way to find out whats wrong. Presume shes insured? Think I would try a different Vet anyway to be honest.

I have two Cockers by the way…..!  I do hope you find out whats wrong, bless her….they are a worry aren’t they? 

Oh Zoe, I am so very sorry. What awful news for you…and I can’t believe the other Vet missed it either.He should have picked it up on her bloods. Is it treatable? I do hope you are ok. Please let us know how things go won’t you.

Thanks for your concerns and help

Thanks julie i will keep you updated

Daisy is blue roan thanks julie

have you taken this puppy to the vet?  that’s the best way to ensure your puppy gets the care it needs.  

I don’t know anything about veterinary medicine so I won’t pretend to . But I gave the titan the best care I could around the clock care every hour on the hour with fluids and medicine to combat the symptoms . He fought it very hard for 4 days but I guess I just didn’t do enough .. I do blame myself because I couldn’t get him the vet care . I hate that he passed in any kind of pain but I did make sure he didn’t go alone I held him rocked him sung to him . I didn’t have him long . He wasn’t even my dog but I loved him like family and I cared for him as much as I could . I regret all of the things that happened but I don’t regret loving him.

Likely if your vet prescribed it he/she has considered the side effects of long term use and decided that your dog needs the medication.  This is really something u should talk to your vet about.

UPDATE: took him to the vet today, for the past couple days before our appointment we’ve had him on bed rest and that helped alot. The limping got less severe and it seemed like he could put more weight down on that leg. The vet had said it could be a partailly torn ligament in his knee from the exam. X-rays at the beginning of next month and he’s currently on some doggy pain killers and inflammation drugs and two weeks bed rest! But he’s walking on it even better with the drugs even after one dose.

I would wonder if the dog is eating cat food that he may be allergic to.

I would think that she is allergic to food or something else.  I would make sure the dog cannot get to the cats food, or the litterbox

It sounds like fleas or allergies.  Allergies manifest in rears, paws, and ears usually. try flea preventative first.
