pup peeing - Page 1

Awhile back I had posted my female pup( at that time she was 3 or 4 months old) just out of the blue started peeing everywheres.And I took the advice of people on here.Which was to ignore and don't scold her.Well I did and the peeing didn't stop.(now a couple months past and she is 7months old) So I then take a sample of urine to the vets and they found blood in her sample.So we put her on an antiibotic for a week. And that didn't work.She would just be walking and all of a suddan start peeing no reason.(pee is a brownish) So I just took her to the vets today for xrays.Well the vet says lots of swelling and redness and a discharge.She had trouble putting a catheter She then tells me the pups bladder is in the wrong place and that I should fix her.Now has anyone have this happen to them?
Thanks

Sounds to me like she's still got an infection!  A culture needs to be done to find out what works on her particular type of infection. Because it has been going on so long it may take a month of antibiotics to clear it up. The position of the uterus can not possibly have anything to do with her bladder. In a puppy or immature female, the uterus is the size of a string of spaghetti! I would DEFINITELY get a second opinion. Hopefully you can find a repro vet who will know more.  Were you planning on breeding her?

If the bladder is in the wrong place, it can predispose the dog to urninary tract infections. She may need surgery to correct this. And I would get her spayed at the same time, as this sort of anatomical quirk can be inherited.

It's a shame this wasn't diagnosed earlier, as now it's going to take a long time for the tissue to go back to normal, and the inflammation may cause the infection to keep re-occuring.

There seem to be alot about this female. (1) at 7 months, she could be coming or be on her first heat. This could explain the swollen and constant urination and discharge. (2) do virgina culture to see if she has "urinary track infection". As for the peeing when attempted touch, could be inherited nervousness. Seek medical attention first, then try vigorous socialization of the bitch.

I don't see how as young as she is the uterus could have moved the bladder at all. Maybe the vet meant surgery to reposition the bladder if that's the issue? But I would definately get a second opinion.

'virginia culture' ??  What's Virginia got to do with this?

Niger man, you crack me up!  That should be vaginal culture!

And it is urinary TRACT infection, not track.

Sorry, I know English is likely not your first language...

Yes she is talking about surgery to reprosition the bladder.I did make another appt. on saturday with a vet up country and they will do an ultra sound.

And I don't know if this has anything to do with it but in the last 3 or 4 months she has become aggressive.Today she almost bit the tech so we put a muzzle on her.Vet tech went to reach down to grab her collar and Cybil jump up and try to bite her in the face. I tell ya I had never seen this side of her. She was out for blood.Now on the peeing she doesn't need anyone to touch her for her to pee.Yeah if I clip her nails she will piddle alittle and never hit her kwik.I can raise my voice and she doesn't pee.When she sees people and ends up barking she doesn't pee if they get to close or want to pet her.Which at this time I don't allow it.Now I've talked to the breeder and he tells me that the mother of this litter has produced pups that end up peeing but they grow out of it.He knows it has nothing to do with nerves.Basically the oly thing i got from him was good luck.

And Niger man I have 2 other dogs here one is 5 yrs old and the other is 6 months old and no problems with them.They all get the same attention and all get socialized.
