We just got back this afternoon from taking the dogs out to my family's place in the desert. The girls did great, tons of running and playing while practicing our obedience and having plenty of off-leash time! I'm not sure if this is related to the following events, but last night we noticed Bisou was limping a little bit on her back right leg, but didn't react all when we moved her leg and poked and prodded. We assume she was just sore from running and kept an eye on it today. Some limping, but she seems better.
A couple hours after getting home, Bisou had an accident right next to her bed. I was sitting at my desk nearby (in the same room, just couldn't see her) and she came over to me and cowered under my chair like she had done something wrong. When I stood up to see what she was doing, I noticed the wet carpet inches from her bed. She put herself in the corner without any scolding... I feel awful because it's my fault for not letting them out sooner. They had been sitting in the car for an hour and a half and since it was raining when we got home, they didn't potty when we got home. I honestly didn't even think about it because they were so pooped and passed out the moment we got home. :ashamed: Poor thing felt awful and I'm a guilty mama.
Shortly after, I laid down on the couch on my phone for a bit. Bisou joined me and was laying between my legs the way she always does. After about 15 minutes, she started getting fidgety and was changing positions frequently. She just couldn't get comfortable and couldn't find a way she could comfortably nap. After another 10 minutes of this, she sits up with her weight on her butt with her head hung the way she sits when she's tired. Suddenly... my lap felt warm. Bisou peed on my lap. I shouted her name in shock and pushed her off my lap (I know, bad mama
) and she didn't even react. She didn't cower, she didn't move. She sat on the floor where I pushed her off just looking at me with a blank face. I was in such shock. Joel picked her up and took her outside and the second he put her down on the patio, she peed AGAIN, a big puddle. The first thing I thought is this was a scared pee due to our shouting (again, I know, bad us!) but the fact that she had full pees on the carpet, on my lap, and on the patio within 45-60 minutes is really shocking to me considering she hasn't been drinking any more than usual today. I'm especially shocked at her peeing on my lap. She didn't even do that during the 6 hour car ride taking her home as a puppy.
She's currently sleeping in her bed, now quarantined in the kitchen. I'm really concerned, but I don't know if I'm overreacting or if she needs to see a vet. I don't know if the limping and peeing could be related, or if the peeing itself is alarming enough to take her in... Joel doesn't seem too concerned and is more irritated than anything. What would you guys do?
