dog depressed with frequent urination

My husband and I adopted a very loving dog Beagley (8yo female neutered Beagle). She went pee in the house for two days after we got her and that was all. About 6 months ago we adopted another femailebeagle from TN. she had all her shots. they got along but Beagley seemed depressed and never quite bounced back fully though she still get excited alot. We noticed about 2 months ago she started to lose enjoyment in things she liked..she had less energy. Then about a month ago she started taking a really long time to take a pee. It came out in squirts or it would be a steady stream but a thin stream. shortly after she started to drink water more often and have piddles in the house. Sometimes the pee's are large and sometimes small. When I've caught her it is clear that are by accident, even surprising her. SHe has pee'd the bed a few times too. I took her to get an ultrasound and they found no blockage. We got a urinalysis done and the found lots of protein and white blood cells in her urine but no cancerous cells or bacteria. Finally I had blood work done and they said it was fine..no cushings or kidney disease. They suggested maybe it is behavioral but I know beagley adn this is not her. I have exhausted all my extra money on her and don't knw what to do but get her a doggie diaper. They even put her on amoxicillian and it did not help. I noticed a lump the other day on the right side of her neck. I think the md aspirated it a year ago and found it was fatty but I can't remember. She had two fat spots, one on her abdomen and anotehr on her chest but I think it was a different small spot on her neck. I desperately need some help for Beagley. What do you think it is????

puppy with gurgling tummy

I have noticed in the past couple days off and on an audible gurgling in my dog's puppy. She (8mo border collie cross, neutered) hasn't had any change in eating habits, although she does have a bad habit of eating out of the garbage, and if there are any scraps on the ground eating those as well. We try to keep this to a minimum, but sometimes it is difficult to stop her. She hasnt had any change in her behavior or demeanor, her nose is still cold, and she is very active and happy. Should I be worried? Is this just a normal occurance of indigestion? I have looked up a condition called bloat, however, aside from the gurgling, she doesnt have any other symptoms. It doesnt appear to be getting worse. I have not noticed if she has had bowel movements in the backyard, although i imagine she has. Please help!

dog urinating around the house

Our dog Mia (5yo female neutered Labrador) has been urinating around the house. It's fairly inconsistent, but we'll find spots of urine in various places, such as the carpet, her bed, and our bed. We thought maybe it was a defensive reaction to our cat, but I'm starting to rule that out, because she'll urinate where she's lying, essentially urinating on herself. She hasn't exhibited any other abnormal behavior. Her stools are fine, etc. Any advice?

dog being restless at night uncomfortable

Estee (5yo female neutered Maltese) was normal yesterday. She got up late last night to poop (normal) and then for the rest of the night, and this morning, she has been unable to get comfortable. She lays down and then sharply sits up. She looks at her back end, and her tail moves to the side, and she stretches her back and back legs continuously. She will only lay down for moments at a time, and cannot settle down at all. She wants up and down off of the bed, but WILL NOT jump off the bed now. She has been trying to sleep sitting up. She does have a knee cap that pops out, and does quite frequently jump off the bed, as she did last night, but this has never happened before. I can't tell what is bothering her exactly, and I don't want to make the Vet come in on a sunday, if it's not a problem.

dog with undescended testicles

This is my first male papillon (7mo). I bought him for breeding. His testicles have not dropped yet. My vet says they won't. The breeder says they will. My question is, If they do not drop is there anything medical that can be done? This dog is a very rare color, I searched for a year to find him. Selling him would be my last resort.

New puppy with tummy and skin problems

We got our puppy (9week old Cane Corso male) last saturday, which he was shipped from New York to Durham, N.C. and our new vet is not familiar with the breed of cane corso which makes us uncomfortable. so we thought we would give this a try. We also have multiple questions so this may seem like a lot. Our first visit, they found coccidia in his fecal exam, and he is under medication we give him for the next 14 days. It seems as though 1 hour after we medicate him, his stomach expands/bloats 2 times its regular size. also, he sleeps an incredible amount of the day, which worries us. our vet said the stomach size is not from the medication, but i can't seem to think what else it is. our second problem is a small bump on his head. it is hairless, but doesn't seem to bother him, but it is concerning us. the vet just said we will keep an eye on it. should we get a skin sample from it to make sure it isn't mites or mange? about 2 hours ago we were looking at the puppy's belly and saw what look like nipples but are actually puss-fulled bumps, and we have no clue what it is. the dog was de-wormed by the kennel we bought him from, so could it still be worms? Im not sure if all these problems are somewhat normal in puppies or not, or if we should be angry with our breeder. Do you think i should try to find a vet that knows more about cane corsos than our current vet? Are most of these problems really serious?

Vet question of the day

Add to Cat losing hair with itchy skin
About a month ago my female neutered Siamese mix cat lost all the shine in her coat of long hair, and refuses to come into the house, preferring to remain in the garage. She is shedding her hair and it comes out in big clumps. The skin on her back near her tail is flaking off, like large dandruff, and the hairs have tiny black things on them near the base. This area is very itchy and when it is touched, she goes into an involuntary biting spasm. She also has small scabs on her skin spread all over her body. - Click here to read the answer
