dog depressed with frequent urination
Question :
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????

Dog with problems walking
When I came home from work yesterday, Sparrow(6yo female neutered mix breed), who stays in my basement with access to the crawl space under the house, was having trouble going up the stairs. She seemed sick - hot nose & depressed. She has a knot midway up her tail about the size of a quarter. Her hindquarters are slightly swollen and tender. Her behind was dirty with dust, some fecal matter, and little black dots that looked like flea eggs (she doesn't have fleas - she's on med from the vet.) It seemed she had been dragging her bottom on the ground. My gut feeling is that she may have been bitten by a spider or god forbid a snake (in my basement?!!) but I'm also worried that she's hurt her back. She can still walk - even jump on the bed - but she is not moving correctly. She is still eating and drinking. She's not any worse this morning, but no better. She's not limping, but she acts stiff - is not moving her hind legs with ease, but I don't see where they look out of whack. For example, when she goes up steps, she just goes one step at a time, very slowly and carefully when she usually bounds & skips steps. It doesn't look like she's knuckling over, and her feet and legs look normal. Another thought after babying her this morning - she has had trouble in the past with her anal glands being blocked. Usually I try to massage & expel them when I bathe her. I haven't noticed her dragging her butt, which usually happens when her glands are filled and need expelling, but is it possible this could be the problem? Or constipation?
