my dog can’t stop peeing all over the place and im at my breaking point
basically what it says in the title. my ~8 or 9 supermutt (we haven’t run an official dna test on him but the vet says he’s likely a chihuahua/terrier/bully mix) seemingly pisses all around my bedroom and our upstairs area everyday. his last annual a few months, which was when this problem first started, back came back completely clean for any issues, but now it’s becoming unmanageable. my breaking point was discovering that he’s been peeing all over a collection of books i’ve been storing on my television console, some of which i’ve been collecting for years.
i’ve been trying everything, from walking long walks to keeping a close eye on him and everything in between. he is slightly overweight, which i’ve been trying to manage, but my father insists on giving into my dog’s constant treat begging as well as not giving him the weight loss kibble my vet recommended for him because “my dog won’t eat it.” it’s hard because i work in healthcare and have weird hours, so i often leave the care of my dog up to my parents, but i can’t place all the blame on them.
i don’t know what i’m doing wrong. please, can anyone point me in the right direction for this? i’m desperate for answers.
UPDATE: i called his vet’s office to lay down the timeline of what’s been going on, and they said it was best to schedule an appointment. we’ll be seeing them tomorrow afternoon. really hoping for the best here because i love my little man and i don’t wanna lose him just yet ❤️
