Peeing in the house during heat
Peeing in the house during heat
Ginger started a heat cycle a little over a week ago and appears to be in estrus now. Anyway, in about the last 7-14 days, she has crapped on the living room floor, peed on my bed, then a few days later peed on my daughter's bed, and then last night peed on my son's bed. I don't recall this in prior cycles. Is this normal? Certainly a justification for spaying if this is related to that! She is 3 years old.
Thanks,
Gary

Not normal. They may urinate more often but they stay housebroke.

She gets plenty of trips outside during the day - she is in and out. I just don't get it. Her behavior is typically weird when she is in heat, however - whiny, lazy, clingy...

You might want to have her checked for a UTI.

I have three intact bitches in the house now, ages 17 months, 2 1/2 & 8 1/2. They've always remained housebroken when in heat. If it were one of my dogs I'd be thinking about a health issue like an infection.

Re: Peeing in the house during heat
I agree with Bigshooter and Britt. Somethings not kosher.. One of my previous brood females was an inside dog, and I never had anything like that ever happen. Have her checked out. Better safe than sorry.

Re: Peeing in the house during heat
I agree... my EP is just finnishing her cycle... she was fine. In the evening we would even put a diaper on her so she could get up on the couch. The first day she was offended by it but when she figgured out it was her key to the couch she would wag her tail when I would get one ready to put on her... her house broke habits never changed a bit, even when she had the diaper on, she'd go to the door to go out to pee, so I'd have her checked.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.

Re: Peeing in the house during heat
Are you putting her nose in it and swatting her butt?
She is acting like the alpha and you need to reinforce who is the alpha (you).
Our female, also in heat, has become difficult. Refusing to obey at times, etc. With her hormones raging, she is forgetting who is the alpha (me), so I am restarting some basic obedience work to reinforce her role and my status as alpha.
