Dealing With Incontinence In Older Or Infirm Dogs
With better veterinary care and more knowledge in dietary and exercise needs, our pet dogs are living longer lives. In most cases this is an excellent upward trend. But we must also remember, that like us humans, the older the body, the less control over certain aspects. Bladder control in older or ill dogs can become a serious issue for your carpets and flooring. There are a few solutions to keep your home neat, but first the cause must be determined. If your dog is suddenly urinating in the house, the problem may not be old age www.dogreveal.com.
First:: Study whether there have been any major changes or upsets in the dog's life. Anything from a new pet, to new baby, to a nasty next door dog may cause your dog to "forget" that he is not outside.
Second:: Take your dog to the vet for a check up.Your vet can determine whether or not there is a medical issue causing the problem.
Third:: Try to watch your dog, is he/she signaling to go out and you're not catching it? Does he/she seem anxious before or after an "accident". You know your dog better than anyone else. Look for behaviour changes in food and water intake. Once you have determined that there are probably no other reasons for your dog's incontinence other than old age, you could be faced with a dilemma. How do you keep your older dog happy and healthy and your house clean at the same time? Confinement in one specific area is one way, constant watching is another, but not very effect. The easiest and least aggravating to you and your dog is probably with the use of doggy diapers and doggy belly bands. Your dog will get used to wearing these very quickly, and if you don't want them as visible as most, then look for colours that will blend into your dog as much as possible. For the elderly or weak dogs, i would suggest a washable, reusable diaper over the disposable kinds for cost savings. Doggy diapers and belly bands may seem like a fad to most, but for the owners of elderly dogs, ill dogs, rescue dogs and female dogs in heat, they can mean the difference between living happily with your dog and keeping your home clean.
