Question by Peri G: My older dog is drinking alot more water recently. Is this a sign of bad health?
I have a 13 year old black lab. Despite being about 10lbs overweight, he seems to be in very good shape. However, he has been drinking about 5 times the amount of water that he usually does in the summer time, and we are worried that this could possibly mean he has something wrong with him.

My 12 yr old shistzu who seems to have a very healthy body except for losing sight and deaf and going into dementia, but she has a dry nose and seems to be more disoriented. I have very little money, so I thought I’d come here first. She is eating and drinking and running in the park ?
I did take her to the vet and the nose was not an issue, but she had lost some weight and the vet told me what to watch for, so now everyone is better and just knowing what to watch for is great !! thanks for the one answer. WEndy

Forgive me for forgeting which term it is, spay or neuter. She’s older, very small as she’s a chiuhaha and a total indoor dog. The only obvious advantage that I can see is not having to deal with her ‘cycle’.
So is there any advantage to her health, in the future?

My dog is about 63 years old, in good health, and is housebroken. We’ve had her for 5 years with no problems and we take her out side for bathroom breaks every couple hours, but in the past two weeks she potties on the carpets frequently. Not a diarrhea problem either. Any suggestions on how to stop this habit of hers?

I have a 9-Month old mutt named bella. I had trouble training her after I got her when she was younger doe to my own health problems, so I gave up. Now I’m ready to train her, but I feel like she isn’t learning as well because she has gone so long without being trained and doesn’t understand. So anyways, is it still possible to train her and what would be the best techniques?
