Hi, is there any vet who can help me check this blood and urine test result? My lab is 2.5 years old, he was castrated when he's around 9 months. Recently he has Urinary Incontinence. The first time was around 6 months ago, then the second time on 5th Mar and third time on 20th Mar. I took him to take the analysis to find out the cause but the vet here just said that the results are normal and it is just that he needs more training of bladder control However my lab is a good boy he pees only outside and on litters tray that I trained him. In those three times that he could not control his bladder there were two times inside the house - which he knows for sure he was not permitted to do so. Symptoms of his Urinary Incontinence: at night after I have him peed as usual, I will take him inside to my room (he sleeps with me). He started leaking a little bit of urine while he's still walking, then he will just let it go and he peed a lot (I have no idea why he kept that much urine to pee). I'm not sure what's happen to my boy and how to cure? And the veteran at Vietnam is very poor of experience I do not believe them quite much. Last time he had his finger bone broken it took the veteran two months to find out the cause to his finger swelling and infection - my boy took a lot of antibiotic back then for a quite long time. Sorry for some edition on the results might not be the proper professional word as I have no medical background so I just translated from the Vietnamese version. The second and third photos are of his urine that I took during his incidents. https://photos.app.goo.gl/9fh3zq6HEokEccNk7 Hope to get some help soon - Love you all.
Sorry noone replied to your post. Obviuosly these blood results can only be interpreted properly by a vet. Reading your post and looking at the picture you posted, the urine looks very clear. We had something similar twice with one of our spaniels after he had been swimming and simply drank too much. I don't think he even realised he was peeing! It has never happend since, but we did have to remind him to go for a wee a few times after he'd been swimming.
Thank you very much for the reply. And the incident happened again just yesterday. I have uploaded the new picture of it, this time was on the playground outside of the house. He was walking around while peeing. With the experiences I had from the few times earlier, I have command him to pee all out. My situations are different from yours as my lab he just drinks as usual with no sudden large amount of water. I think it must have some problem but I don't know the cause to cure.
Has he drunk more than usual before the incidents when he has peed and had the incontinence? Sometimes dog save up their urine to mark with - that's how they can always squirt out a bit(!) when they need to. With just one trip to the garden, perhaps he isn't emptying fully sometimes... But it seems strange that he is urinating without being consciously aware of it, that does suggest something physiological going on - I think you might need a consultation with another vet. Perhaps you can find a vet in another country who is prepared to do an online consultation with you, if you send through your test results to them. You could look online for an urology specialist.
Thanks for the helpful advice. Regarding the water amount I can confirm that he drank as normal and peed before the incidents. I will find if there is any vet that willing to do consultation online.
There may be a medical problem going on with your dog. Look up inconvenience in male dogs to see of any of these looks like what your dog is experiencing. Urinary Incontinence in Dogs WebMD Veterinary Reference from the ASPCA Urinary incontinence occurs when a housetrained dog loses control of his bladder. This can range in severity from occasional small urine leaks to inadvertent voiding of a large amount of urine. What Causes Urinary Incontinence in Dogs? Hormonal imbalance Weak bladder sphincter Urinary tract infection Urinary stones Spinal injury or degeneration (frequently seen in German shepherds) Protruding intervertebral disc Prostate disorders Presence of other diseases that cause excessive water consumption, such as diabetes, kidney disease, hyperadrenocorticism Congenital abnormalities Anatomic disorders Certain medications
Hi WillowA, Thanks, I have also been through these kinds of articles, that's the reason why I had an idea of taking him to take the blood and urine test. Sadly even after that, the vet in Vietnam still does not come to any thing.
Sorry your not getting the help you need I would get another vets opinion. Only a vet will get to the bottom of what is going on.
