Pregnant Bichon

Question
Hi my Bichon is 5 years old and I think she is about 4 weeks pregnant.
This is her second litter and we had to supplement her food with calicum last time.

She is normally very good with her toilet habits but recently she will pee whereever and whenever she wants almost like she has been surprised by the need to go and just stops and goes.

Is this normal? Is there anything that I can do to stop this becoming a regular habit??

Answer
Hi Jeremy

Is she peeing more frequently than usual?  It could be that she has a puppy pressing against her bladder BUT there is a chance she can have a bladder infection.

You want to watch for discharge and a quick trip to the vet might be in order to eliminate the bladder infection as an infection can be fatal to pups.

Good luck
