First up, per the vet she’s healthy. She’s about eight pounds, so a little, and is 4.5 months old. I know she’s still growing. I am wondering, has anyone else dealt with a puppy who just refuses to pee?
I am really struggling with getting her to pee on a schedule. She absolutely refuses to pee unless three or more hours have gone by. I’ve tried leashing her for boredom outside, going in and playing then back out, walks, taking her out right after a nap…she just insists on her own timeframe. I have found zero tricks to induce peeing. Same with poo too. I can tell by her bum she has to go but until it’s become unavoidable she’ll refuse to go.
She runs to me for a treat after potty so it seems like she’s associated treat with potty, but she definitely isn’t trying to earn a treat. This lack of desire to go is making nighttime hard because she has to go semi close to bedtime, about 7:30, and no matter what she’s not going to go again at bedtime because it’s not long enough away. She even takes a huge drink about 7:30 every night and still no pee at 8:30-9:30 time frame. Of course morning is urgent and a lot!
Someone tell me I’m not nuts, that they’ve seen this before too?!
