ny dog is having bladder issues...?

i have a 10yr old cocker who cant seem to control her blader anyomore and the smell is VERY pungnet smell (no normal pee smell) she shows zero signs of pain - eats just fine - seems happy, btu somethign is worng because she has always been very good with the potty thing - even as a puppy she learned quickly to hold until outside. this all started a month ago when we used to keep her kenneled at night and she potty'ed on herself, which she doesnt do!

now if we dont take her out every couple of ours she looses it. the smell is so strong ad she done it so many times that our house has this odor now.

whats wrong????

    Most likely she has a urinary tract infection or even bladder stones. Very strong smelling urine is a symptom that she may be trying to hold it for a long time and does not want to mess in the house but is unable to. Please have her seen by the vet and a urinalysis done to find the problem.

    She may not seem like it is painful but even a simple infection is at least very uncomfortable.

    I would not try to diagnosis it yourself by unqualified advice.

    Urinary problems can be serious so it is best to let the vet check using professional staff and equipment. But choose a vet carefully. There are good and bad as in everything so do not hesitate to change if you do not have completely confidence in the present one.

    Feed-back at a later date would be appreciated :)

    Take her to the vet as soon as possible. At her age she could have a bladder infection or worse that is causing her bladder to expel any urine because it is irritated.

    Take her to the dang vet. Seriously, what are you waiting for.
