My dog is a mixed breed, female and medium size. She is 3 years old and was fixed when she was a pup. She is up to date on all of her shots. Less than 2 days ago I brought her to our vet to have a mole removed from just behind her left shoulder, not because it bothered her but because it has been growing and I didn't want it developing into something much worse.
I don't know if that is a contributing factor to my question, but I thought it should be included. The mole was removed Thursday late afternoon. Saturday morning I was vacuuming and she moved and I noticed a large wet puddle. I got a paper towel and mopped it up and smelled it and just thought she got wet and it puddled. Then we went up stairs and I found a wet spot on the carpet where she was sitting while I was making my bed and then another one where she was sitting and another one where she likes to lie down.
I have noticed that she has been peeing on things when we go outside, but she never had an issue inside. I am going to to keep and eye on her closely. I was wondering if the doctor used a local when he snipped her mole off or not and that could be it. I'm confused. This is all new for her. She has not been over drinking and she has been been eating so I don't know. If it continues I will take her to the vet Tuesday since it is Labor day weekend or maybe to the priority 24 hour vet's if I think it that much of an emergency.

She could have some sort of bladder infection and it does not sound like the two are really related. I would take her back to the vet and have this checked out immediately.
UTI test strips can be bought to see if your dog shows signs of infection until you can take the dog to see the vet. My 11 yr. old female cocker started urinating a lot and was tested. She had a bacterial infection and was given medication for it, however, she still urinates uncontrollably and drinks lots of water.
It sounds like a UTI to me. Get a few diapers for now and make an appointment with the vet soon.
Poor girl. It does make you think the surgery and the urination are related. Although I cant imagine how. I would have her back to the Vet asap.
Post back with an update!
Anything that is abnormal after a surgery needs a vet check so I hope you were able to get in today!
It could be anything from leftover anesthesia to post op infection.
Prayers for healing! Let me know how things are going!
