Hello lovely people, my Shih Tzu boy (7 months old) has been peeing frequently and having accidents after getting neutered two days ago. He stayed at the vet for 30 hours and I picked him up a few hours ago. Since he's come home, he's been peeing non stop (sometimes a lot, and sometimes a little), and he's been having accidents.
Some more context – due to our living situation, we had to rely on pads, and we still do. The pads are on the balcony. Our boy has a schedule where he naps for 2 hours in his crate on and off throughout the day. He pees on command once every few hours when we take him out to the balcony. At night, he holds his bladder for 8 hours.
Unfortunately we still have issues. If he's left unsupervised and has not peed for more than 2 hours, he will pee on carpets if he wants to. It's always been carpets as they resemble pads. He has never peed directly on the floor.
UNTIL NOW. Aside from peeing multiple times an hour, he has also somehow peed directly on the floor when I left him for 1 minute.
Is this common? I didn't think so. I'm taking him in the morning to the vet. Tonight, unfortunately, I'm going to go back a couple months in training and leave his crate open, inside the playpen, with access to pads.
The last thing I want is him peeing in his crate, which has never happened before. Even a couple hours ago, when he napped in it for 90 minutes, he did not pee in it, but something felt off, because he was going in circles for 15 minutes, unable to sleep later into the nap, and when we took him out he peed straight away.
