My little rescue Staffie (X?) is having her first season (she will be spayed but vet wanted her to mature a bit first as she has had a rough start in life).
She has been clean in the house for the last 2 months (we have had her 3 months).
She is constantly peeing when outside, every minute or so, but yesterday evening she peed twice in the house (not just spots, definite puddles) and last night she did at least 3 puddles and a poo in the kitchen. (she has never pooed in the kitchen overnight before).
Nothing else in her routine has changed (she lives with a female lab and a castrated male boxer)
Initially I thought it was just her marking in the garden but now I'm a bit concerned - of course it's Easter weekend and vets shut - this doesn't really warrant an emergency visit.
I also won't be able to get to the vets for a while as I have mums funeral on Tues.
Is it normal for an in season bitch to pee this much? She looks fit and well, is happy and eating normally.
I can't really tell if she is drinking alot as there are 3 of them. Haven't noticed her at the water bowl excessively.
