Expert: Vicki Dressler Date: 7/8/2008 Subject: diarrhea and peeing
Question Hello,
Last night my 16 month old pug randomly peed while sleeping in my bed. He's never peed on my bed and it doesn't seem like him to do something like that. He has not peed in the house since he was about 5 months old so this worried me. Also, for the past two days he has had diarrhea as well. Today he was lethargic and did not enjoy walking as he usually does and frequently stopped. It has been more hot than usual. However, last night he walked and ran fine though. He has his appetite. Any ideas about what might be wrong or how I can treat his diarrhea?
Thank you!
Answer You need to take him to your vet. You do not want him to get dehydrated and with loose stools and summer heat, it can happen very quickly.
My best guess is he does not feel well and is not himself. Take him to your vet to make sure he has not picked up some kind of bug or gotten over heated.
