| Urine Infection?
I just got my second Rottie. My first one lived 13.5 yrs and was put to sleep in Jan 2007. I have had my new Rottie, female since Sunday May 18th. Since I brought her home from the breeder, by the way she just turned 12 weeks old, she urinated in her crate while sleeping on the way home. I did not think much of it, since I thought maybe she was nervous.
Well, she did it again that night and has been doing it at least 1-4 times a day since I have had her. I will take her out, she is good about going potty outside. Not be 30 min later, when she naps, there is a pool of urine where she lays, it is on her leg and under her body.
On Friday May 23rd, I took her to the vet in the morning, they managed to get a urine sample and said that she has a urinary tract infection. That probably explains why she drinks soooooooooooo much water throughout the day and why she urinates at least 14+ times a day.
Do you think that the urinating while sleeping is related to the urinary tract infection or is there a problem that I should be worried about with her bladder or interals.
Keep in mind that this is a very expensive puppy and her parents are heavily titled from Germany. The father cost his breeder $60k and my breeder paid $40k for the mother. So, the pups were very expensive themselves. I got her because I planned on breeding her for one litter, that way I could have another pup for me and my brother down the road as well as one for my parents. Thanks  |
