Why can dogs hold their urine for a day
Like humans, dogs must specify metabolism. Generally, dogs who are not used to urinating at home will have the habit of enduring urine. However, if the dog holds urine for more than 10 hours for a long time, it will easily cause diseases in the genital and reproductive system or renal function. Therefore, when a dog is in a state of holding urine for a day, it is important to pay attention to it and immediately use some appropriate methods to help it urinate. Next, let’s talk about what should be done in reality.
1. Increase the amount of water you drink every day. The urine condition of a dog is very closely related to its usual diet and the amount of water you drink every day. If the diet is dry and hot, or the drinking water is insufficient, and the body lacks sufficient water to carry out operation and metabolism, it is of course a common situation.
For this matter, pet owners suggest that the dog change the drinking method of water, encourage it to drink more water, and stop feeding dry, hot and heavy-flavored ingredients, and choose to feed it some vegetables and fruits that are beneficial to urination or ingredients with high moisture, such as pears, cucumber juice, winter melon soup, etc., to help it fill the water needed by the body and accelerate the body's basic metabolism.
2. Dogs are depressed, have poor sleep, or are used to urinating outdoors, and are locked up at home for a long time, which is all very likely to have tolerate urine.
If this is the case, it is recommended that the pet owner take the time to take the dog outdoors for a walk as soon as possible, and experience more identification addresses or column objects that it knows, which will stimulate its urine sensation, and fitness exercises can accelerate its body's metabolic circulation system. If the dog has a fixed area where he pees, it is recommended that the pet owner control the time, take it out to urinate diligently, or train it to urinate at home.
3. After taking the upper treatment, if the dog still has not successfully excreted the urine and is still in a state of enduring urine, it is recommended that the pet owner gently scrub its urine with a wet cotton ball to irritate the body organs and make it feel irritating, and let it cooperate with each other to conduct observation.
If it does not work, it is best to take the dog to a professional pet clinic for biochemical examination as soon as possible, because it is likely that some urethra inflammation may occur, and even causes urinary system diseases such as urinary stones and urinary tract stones. It must be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
Finally, a healthy dog is recommended to urinate more than 3-5 times a day, and the color of the urine should be completely transparent and light yellow. Pet owners can observe more when the dog urinates to ensure the dog's physical and mental health.
