Sara's Sorda Sick :(

[Gepansy]

Sara went to the vet today(1-18-02) and hasn't come back.
She won't be home for the night either.
It's very lonely and quiet without her.
My mom and dad think it has to do with a bladder infection or a urinary track infection of some kind or something like that.
Hopefully I can update by tomorrow.
Her behaviour is normal....still eats,drinks,sleeps,plays, acts like an idiot!!!..lol
My parents just think that something is wrong because yesterday evening she was laying in the floor and got up. There was a wet spot where she was laying. She layed down in a different place, got up and the same thing happened.
My parents figured out that she was leaking pee.
I know it sounds gross, but if somethings wrong she needs to go to the vet.
I hope she is fine..will update soon.

Hope that Sara's problem is nothing serious and that she comes back home soon and well.

Mom emailed me last night:

"Sara acts fine....first thing she did when i took her in was jump up and put her front feet on the counter. Knocked off a clipboard onto the keyboard & scared the receptionist! The girl did not know we had came in and she whipped around & said, "I didn't know there was a dog in here!" ...I think we startled her...LOL Sara was soooo excited to see her friends (bet she's not now) lol"

Sara is still actin' like Sara--just a little leaky, I guess.

this is what it says in a book I've got about dogs:
Sometimes a dog will lose urinary control without realizaing it-some spayed females leave puddles while they are sleeping. This type of incontinence responds readily to medication which your vet can prescribe for you. Dogs sometimes become incontinent as they grow older. In this cases, more frequent walks will often ease the problem.
I hope this help, hope she's fine!

i am 100 % sure that this is no urinary tract'cause then she would have been straining to urinate or urinating more frequently than usual.

Thanks for the info!

Sweet Sara !!! Buddy & Liz.

Sara came home today!
She still acts just fine and her same old self.
She is sleeping alot and acts very tired.(my dad thinks it's just from stress......being away from us and her home)
The doctor said they needed a sample of pee, but she wouldn't cooperate........she's too wiggly!
They would try to get a sample and couldn't, then they would put her in their dog run and she would go.
So now that is why she is home and my mom has the lovely job of trying to get the sample herself.
Glad it's not me!
Will update again soon,
Alyssa
