Question:
We have a small male poodle, 14 years old. Lately, he's been drinking a lot of water resulting in a lot of urination -- at times uncontrollable, and at times in his own bed. The smell is terrible. Any suggestions?.

Answer:
My question to you is why did you not immediately take your dog to be checked by a veterinarian when you realized that he was drinking much more water than usual? He may well have kidney disease or a form of diabetes and should receive immediate veterinary attention.Anytime an animal has a change in routine behaviors like drinking, eating, playing, sleeping and wanting to go out to walk or jog, a veterinary appointment is called for.
