Dito van Noort's daughter is ill - Page 1

Hello

Juno's history

She had few problems from the beggining and we were hoping that it's nothing and she will grow out of it, but it just isn't going to happen...
We spoke to few different vets and to the trainer about her problem with holding urine in her bladder. It looks like it's very unfortunate girl we have...
Trainer told us that it's definetly not a training issue that she is wetting herself and dropping urine while walking, playing or even eating...
We consulted it with vets and vet surgeon... Vets told us it can be that she doesn't feel her bladder, but vet surgeon came with other idea which is more like to be truth.
Juno may have a bypass from one kidney streight out (missing bladder) that's why she isn't always aware of what she is doing. This doctor told us that to have it completly checked and operated will cost us circa 3000 if not more, because it's realy complicated operation. He is very experienced vet and we've been told we can trust him.
I can't afford these costs, because a baby on a way. I can't keep her in the cage all the time and I can't keep her outside the house, because my neighburs are complaining about noise and barking.
I don't want to give her away. But at some point I will not have a choice.
I have bought this bitch from Hausmailand Kennel, his answer for my call was: Sorry nothing I can do.
Any advice?
What can I do to save my dog?

That doesn't sound too good and I'm sorry for going the girl through the mess and you through all that trouble.

If it would be a human, you can easily and exactly see where it comes from by giving a contrast agent into the bladder to the and then taking x-rays while emptying the bladder. In case kidneys and/or the respective aditus to the bladder are concerned I'm not sure whether this method is applicable for dogs as well. Maybe it's worth a word with your Vet, whether there is any option to evaluate to problem w/o surgery. Maybe also a CT would help for the correct diagnosis prior to any surgery.

Best wishes for your dog, yourself and your family.

Well, to be absolutely blunt about this, you really only have 2 choices:

1) find her a new home where she can be kenneled outside all the time and/or the owner can afford the surgery and treatment.

2) pay to have the problem properly diagnosed and treated. Most vets understand that owners don't have bottomless pockets, and will allow you to pay over time.

The third option, is, of course, euthanasia, but that would be a last resort, if tests show there is no way of fixing the problem. The sad fact is, uncontrolled urination, or the inability to be house broken is a very, very common reason for pets to be euthanized.

Is she spayed? Often spaying will cause incontinence, especially if done really early.

Have you tried medication? I've successfully used Propalin on my male GSD for occasional dribbling, following a prostate infection.

What I would do in you case, would be to do the tests needed for a proper diagnosis. Then you will have a much better idea of if the problem can be fixed, and what it's going to cost. Nearly all the tests they do on humans are also done on animals. An ultrasound, intravenous pyelogram (IVP) or a CAT scan would all be useful in identifying the problem. Yes, this is going to cost, but that's something we have to realize when we bring an animal into our lives.

Did  your vet tell you it is an Ectopic Ureter?

Good luck w/your girl, I hope things work out.

it is sad
can the breeder take care of her
that should be his responsibility as well
shame to hear he is not interested of basicly his dog , specially as we talking
about such good bloodline dogs

can you put a diaper on her while she is inside?  that make diapers for females who are in heat, why wouldn't it work for your girl?
its just a temporary fix, but maybe you can do this until your financial situation improves?  I had an american bulldog who did this,  even when she was asleep she would dribble pee. never found out why she did it, I assumed cause she was born tailless it had something to do with it (maybe a defect was on the inside).

dipers is a good thing but really just for a while and they arent cheap as well
u still have amonia in the air and not a healthy enviroment for a baby to be
rspca can not do a lot, should take a legal advice and talk to breeder

get one of the washable diapers, I have seen some at petsmarts, dog groomers,  and even someone who sows can make one. and replaceable pads aren't that expensive.  and as far as ammonia being in the air around the baby,  if they let the dogs diaper get that bad, then.....
