168. Peeing without warning - A LUTI puppy?

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

SURVEY - Jul 20, 2005

Husky. How do you toilet train him for the first 7 days?

lst 3 days. Playpen + newspapers. At night, playpen brought into bedroom because the puppy whines a lot (noisy).

As owner is self-employed, she stays at home to supervise the puppy.
Owner sleeps late.
Noted that the puppy whines at 4 am and 6-7 am, wanting the soiled newspapers CHANGED.

FEEDING. 3 x/day for lst 7 days.
Now, 4 months old, 2X/day. Shit 3-4X/day (normal for most puppies, I said).

URINATE. 2 - 3 hours unless sleeping (normal for 3 months old). No strict formula but some trainers in puppy books say N+1 (N=puppy's age in months), some say N.

Very satisfied as puppy is paper trained now. Only problem is green blob seen in urine. The other vet had prescribed a powder antibiotic and had given it for 14 days, but green blob of flesh still present in urine.

The secret is to supervise the puppy and bring it to the newspaper everytime it circles or sniffs the floor. And confinement.

One main problem is that SOME PUPPIES pee without warning signs. How do you catch it in the act if it does not give warning signs?

What's the problem? Bladder or other problem? One pimple persist on right side of vulval lip. She might have a lower urinary tract infection (LUTI)

To investigate further 6 days later, after a new type of antibiotic and drugs. No news from the owner.
