A question about my little guy? My little Terrior Chiualua, Rugby drinks his own urine while he's peeing. Is this because he is lacking vitamins of some sort? I think it's gross but I am also concerned if he is lacking in anything. Serious answers only please :)
< class="additional-details">Additional Details 1 day ago He is 3 years old. We have two other dogs and they dont do this. 1 day ago ceegt, I gave your nephew a hug from you and the poodle. He does not have a UTI though as he would have other symptoms if he did and he is perfectly fine....I researched it. Thanks! This is seen in puppy mill puppies as a means to get fluids and to overcome boredom.
It won't kill them, but it's something that you should work on.
The best way to prevent is, to keep his attention on you by talking to him. When he is finished praise and feed a yummy treat when he is done.
