starstarstarstarstar 		10 yr old jack russell wetting bed at night
by: Anonymous

Hi My 10 year old Jackrussell has for the past 6 weeks been weeing at night I wake up to find her licking but not sure if she was licking prior to weeing or after .
The wee is clear and doesnt smell .
But the problem is she sleeps at the foot of our bed either under the blankets or on top .
And it is frustrating having to wash the bed linen 2 to 3 x a week .
Has anyone else had a similiar problem ?

by: Peggy

Still, it is unusual for a house trained dog of that age to suddenly start doing that. With submissive urination, you usually see it more when the dog is excited or nervous - greeting people or seeing other dogs. I think a vet would be able to better rule out any health issues - if there is none, then you can look into other things that could be causing it.

This has only started recently and never at night. Only when she is comfortable in the day, when she either sleeps on my lap or on the settee. I am wondering if it is a psycholical problem

starstarstarstarstar 		Jack Russell urinating while sleeping
by: Peggy

It's unusual for a house trained Jack to suddenly start urinating while sleeping. I would take her to the vet to make sure she doesn't have a urinary track infection or something else. In the meantime, make sure you wash her bed with a special cleaning agent that attacks dog urine since dogs have sensitive noses and will often pee where they have before. You can get that at the pet store.
