Lurcherdog96 15 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Dogs always spot on with peeing and pooing but whenever I take him for a night on lamp or day time he can't do either for a few days. I took him to vet he gave me antibiotics but doesn't seem to have worked so wondering if anyone on here has got any ideas? Maybe had it with there dog? Cheers Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Give him halt a tin chopped tomatoes twice a week and keep him hydrated. The vet proscribing antibiotics blind change your vet. Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,263 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'd check for injuries or tender areas over back ans abdo if nothing then Fluids and a light meal few hours before work then more fluids. Then light meal and more fluids after work. If working for long period give fluids during work. Check colour of piss after working if red/brown consider rhabdo. Check for any tender areas after work and really carefully 1st thing the next day., especially over kidneys and bladder plus lower back. Ps if anything found go to vet for diagnosis, if still not peeing for long periods go to vet for ultrasound of bladder and kidneys. Regards sandy. Quote Link to post
Jerry71 269 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Get dog back to the vet, as folk have said get a ultrasound done, personally I would not work the dog again until I knew what problem was, you could make things a hole lot worse by running the dog. Atb Quote Link to post
Lurcherdog96 15 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Get him to a different vet and the outcome was that he had damaged muscles around that area and there was fluid getting into his kidneys, apparently it's something that happens to race horses that get used a lot so was advised by vet to lay him up for a couple weeks then ease him back into work. Thanks to everybody that commented 1 Quote Link to post
