20 week old lab
A few lab questions: The fist question l have is about my lab
pup and her whimpering. We can not figure out why she is always
whimpering. She is so good with house training and doesnt go in the house.
It could happen right after we walk her. Sometimes she cries by the front
door or at random times. We do not know why. Do pups cry when they
teeth? Also, She drinks sooo much water. If fwe left out a bucket of water she would drink the whole thing.
My lab is 2 and does the same thing and constatntly starves for
attention. All I have to do is look at him and he starts whinning wanting
to play.
I have a 4 year old lab, so I went through the whole thing you
are going through & actually still am, because it sounds like she just
wants attention & thats why she whimpers. More than likely if she is next
to the front door she might just want to go outside. I noticed when my lab
was real young he might have to go just a few minutes after taking a big
drink of water. Also remember labs love attention, play with her inside a
little & after a while she might not whimper as much.
The whimpering. you dog just miss is you, or is lonely
As far as too much water..What to do? A fresh sample of urine & ur vet can
test the urine, possible run a blood test & xray to get a diagnosis. Most
of the above diseases are treatable.
How much water should a dog or cat drink?
Adult dog - drinks one ounce per pound per 24 hours. Puppy, kiten or adult cat - drinks one & one half ounce per 24 hours Drinking too much water (and urinating too much) is called polyuria poludyssia or PU/PD. This external sign can be the result of several diseases: 1) Bladder infection called cycstitis 2) kidney infection called pyelonephritis 3) bladder stones called uroliths (4 types) 4) diabetes mellitus - not enough blood insulin causes too much blood glucose or sugar in the urine. 5) diabetes insepides - not enough ADH, a hormone responsible for concentrating urine. 6) medullay washout- simply drinking too much water.
you might try feeding the puppy ice cubes or crushed ice to
stop the drink of water to fast. she sounds like she wants you to spend
more time with her. You might get her check out by your vet just to make
sure there is no problems.
She might be whining because she wants outside or because she
wants attension, but talk to her and ask her and I know that sounds funny
but sometimes they acknowledge your question. She sounds like she is one
thirsty girl but I don't think there is anything wrong with that and she
might have ran around and that might be why she is so thirsty.
my saint bernard was the same way with the water, he is three
and still hasn't outgrown it. I wouldnt be too concerned, but when u see
the vet, its always good to mention it. My saint did cry a bit when he was
teething as a pup , get her some teething bones and see if it helps.
