Dog peeing indoors

Your kind words are appreciated and my love and a hug to all of you about to face this or had to do it. X

Sola is at peace now, you did best for her - hope you are OK.

We were saying today that we are not religious, but we would love to think there is "a rainbow bridge" where we will all meet again.

Sending good wishes to those who have lost much loved companions.

Sorry granny knot , I just read the sad news........you must be devastated. I cried the whole night. It does get better.

Grannyknot, yes, I have used nappies......I used normal baby nappies, and a panty over ......I still miss her .

GrannyIris, Im sorry my positive post x posted with your news about the decision to help your much loved dog leave this world. Thank you for letting us know that the move over the rainbow bridge was peaceful and so much the last loving thing you could do.
sea cliff, sending love and positive thoughts to you as well. Our 6 year old dog was put to sleep earlier this year. He'd been very fit then suddenly developed walking problems. It was an aggressive, inoperable tumour along his spine. The vet was wonderful, he went gently to sleep.
Animals - they fill our lives with love and fun. The least we can do is help them to suffer no more

So sad to hear that Sola was Pts today.
You did the very best for her and she was loved very much.
I'm sure that she will find her friends over the rainbow bridge.
For you [flowers

It was over quite quickly with me supporting her head and stroking her, she was deaf so was speaking to lovely Lucy the vet. She could see how much muscle had gone from her back legs. Husband didn’t stay which I didn’t mind. Hope she finds our previous pets over the rainbow bridge.

Thanks Iris, it was very peaceful thank goodness. He was so thin but the vet was experienced and sympathetic. Soots had his chin resting on my hand, and I was stroking his head, OH was there too. It was the right time - it was a release. We took him home for burial.

I feel drained now. I know they are "just animals" to some, but to us they are truly part of our family. Best wishes to you, I hope it went as well as possible.

seacliff I hope everything was ok for you and your dear little Soots. A peaceful end is the best we can do for them, but the guilt is still awful. DH says he’s coming with me but don’t think he’ll stay while the injection is given. Who’s the weaker sex?

So sorry to read your news seacliff. Just 4, it really is unfair. Thinking of you too ?

Hi GrannyIris5. So sorry to read your news. I too had a girl with water problems. She was on steroids to help her back legs, hence the peeing. They gave her an extra 6 months so I didn't mind. Lost her just after her 16th birthday (I'd only had her 2 years). Take care. ?

‘Iam64’ ‘seacliff’ & ‘sodapop’ I’m very grateful for your kind words. Had a call from DIL earlier to say one of their cats was run over and killed, he was too busy going through a black bin bag to notice the car. It was one of their neighbours! He was 18 and instant but such a shock for eldest son and his family. All be glad when today is over.

So sorry to hear this GrannyIris you did the very best you could for your girl and now it's time to let her go. I will be thinking of you this afternoon.
God bless you and Sola

Oh so sorry to read this GrannyIris. You gave her the very best life, and now it is kindest for her to let her go peacefully.

I am in the same situation with my lovely cat Soots. I have just booked for him to go to vet this morning. He is onl 4 and has cancer. We have been trying to give him a bit more good time, but now we know it's the right time for him.

for you and Sola.

just catching up with this and so pleased the regime is working GrannyIris.
My ancient spaniel became incontinent in her last year, but fortunately she always slept in her bed so I could change the bedding easily.
Our very old rescue boy discovered the joy of crates when we had a puppy, we'd leave the door open during the day for the pup but often find the old boy sleeping in there, happy to be away from the other two. It was so useful when the old dog became very ill, back legs going on him, couldn't get up again. For the final 3 weeks of his life we were able to leave him in the crate (door closed if we went out) and he was happy and safe. We never crate trained him as he arrived age 2 but I've crate trained pups and dogs since then because it's so useful if they're sick, recovering from injury etc.
Sending best to you an your dog

Sad to say our little Sola will be PTS this afternoon as her back legs keep collapsing and to a lesser extent one of the front ones too. She is often found on the floor unable to get up on her own and can no longer go for walks as she collapses. Poor love can’t squat to poo, although she has no control over her bowels now. She is so ‘down’ and doesn’t respond to fussing and stroking. Better a week early than a week too late, but it doesn’t help the guilt and it’s taken us a good few weeks of discussion. Didn't want her to have a poor quality of life to spare our feelings. Don’t know how our other dog will be without her around. ?

Just as an extra. Pia the poodle has started to eat again, she went a week without food. We were Crying tears of joy, each day managing a little more, going to make some ‘satin balls’ to get her back to usual weight ASAP. Vet tomorrow for her check up. Our little ‘wetter’ is still coping overnight with the water taken away at 9.

Ordered new foam already, but I’ll put it in a bin bag for protection this time, she won’t notice with an extra cover on it.

Great news! Fourth night and no accidents!
It seems as though you have 'cracked it' GrannyIris, I'm so happy for you and your dear little girl.

Another dry night, at this rate I think I ought to order another piece of memory foam for her bed.

I think you will know.It may sound odd but my own beloved pet looked at me the day before we had her PTS as if to say it is time now, that helped me make the decision.I had read that pets do this but did not believe it till it happened to me.

Esspee I think most people would agree with you.
If our vet had said she was in pain we wouldn’t have hesitated. I’m sure we will know when the time comes.

GrannyIris5 to get text in bold just put an asterisk before and after the word.

How I wish that in this country we allowed humans to be PTS rather than go through prolonged suffering. Why can we show compassion to animals and not to our fellow humans?

ClareAB we have our 3rd dry night. Picking up the water is working so far. She sleeps in the kitchen already x
Poodle spent the day on a drip and given anti emetic? Vets don’t seem worried about no appetite but has got probiotic paste to take.
