After posting this in the General forum, I realized that this forum is probably more appropriate, so I am reposting here.
My six month old Pekingese got spayed last week, and after her surgery she has been urinating very frequently, sometimes every half hour. She does not appear to be incontinent as she goes to her wee-wee pad and squats to urinate...she's not just wetting herself while sitting around. Her urine is clear and has no odor, so she probably does not have a UTI.
My girl was making so much progress in her housebreaking and I was so proud of her. After this surgery, it's as bad as when I first got her. She gets upset too and sulks because she is not supposed to have accidents. At this point I am so worried that she has spay incontinence and feel so guilty about having her spayed and leaving her unable to hold her urine. I feel so bad right now and regret having her spayed.
One positive thing is that she is still able to hold her urine throughout the night. My vet wants to me to monitor her behavior for a few days. He said sometimes this kind of thing happens because dogs feel nervous (perhaps confused about feeling strange post-op), and when they are nervous they urinate frequently.
Did anyone experience this frequent urination after spay? Did it ever go away or get better?
Explain exactly what's going on to them, and see if they think she may need to come in and be checked over.
