Is this usual?

I know this probably sounds stupid and I know Im probably starting to worry over nothing but would appreciate any comments (as long as you dont call me stupid!!)

Marley has always gone out 4 times a day as he doesnt cock his leg on every occassion he does a long pee until this week. he usually has a pee first thing and then again when Ed takes him out on the beach between 10 and 11am, I then take him out around 5.30 and then again at 10pm.

this week he has had his two morning pees and then hasnt had one at 5.30, I have walked round and round with him but apart from being really wicked trying to get his halti off he hasnt done a thing, I just think its a long time from 10 or 11am til 10pm, I have tried everything but he is really being a little git!!! Should I be worried? Could there be a problem?

he is now lying in his cage in the huff because he has been told off.

What?!!! Told off for not having a pee?! :2431:


Is he still drinking the same? Is he really that much a creature of habit?

It does seem a long time though

Sorry, that wasnt much help was it?

Is it always the 5pm one he misses? Are you doing anything different?

OMG I wish I could STOP Todd peeing!

i agree with bev seems a long time but if hes not drinking loads he may not need to wee a lot

is he ok in himself? is he drinking enough/not enough *altho he would be peeing more lol*

is he straining wen he does pee at all?

i would think if hes fine in every other way keep a eye on him and just see if he gets worse or it could just be him lol

my lot dont go by a routine but i always know if one is drinking too much too little and not going out so know how you feel hun x

No Bev he was told off for being a little git with his Halti!!! :2431:

i will have to ask Ed about him drinking, he seems fine in himself and its only been since Monday that hes started this. Yes its his 5pm pee he has stopped. Jon even took him back out at 7 last night and he still didnt pee.

as for a creature of habit he pees and poos in virtually the same place!!! :2431:

my dogs pee and poo all the time *the three workers*

but dillan doesnt he can hold it for a long while if its cold or raining he will refuse to go out so can go nearly all day with out a wee lol

Xena and axle are the same if they got to go out and its raining heavy they just look at u as to say no way i'm i gone out in that and walk back in house,

Is it really a long time when they sleep at night none of mine need to pee again,
they are bedded down around 10pm and thats them till 6am

I agree with what has been said but I have to add Hazel stopped her regular pee's a few years back and seems to need the bathroom a lot less than the other two.

She can go forever without needing to go we used to worry but vet said they are like us and now I don't even notice it anymore, it's just her!

I suppose Marley goes from 10pm til 6am but he has been for 17 months a creature of habit!

dont think anything to worry about Jude

Maybe he's just maturing? After all he's almost an adult now!! :2445:

i wouldnt worry jude.... fred pees more somedays than others... some nights i let him out for a pee and he wont have one, he can still hold it till the next morning

bing wnt go out when its dark and/or raining so he holds it till mornin he probs just need 2 pee as much as he did as hes gettin older now
