My 13 year old dog started going inside
Hello,
I have a 13 year old rat terrier. He had 5 shots at the annual visit early this month. Until then, he was relatively healthy. He reacted pretty bad to the shots with sore muscles for 3 days, then started urinating in the house. The number of accidents has been increasing. I don't force him to go, but I open the back door every hour and most of the time he actually goes outside and urinates. His urinalysis was negative for a urinary tract infection, and his blood tests showed no sign of kidney problem or Cushing decease. My vet thinks that's a cognitive or behavioral problem, but what makes him drink so much? I started keeping him in the kitchen while I'm at work, but when I come home for lunch, I found his pee on the floor. Please help me! Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
