<DIV>In addition to Rosie (my basset hound), I have two pugs named Chubby & Daisy. I started noticing that there was an increase in housebreaking incidents, then I saw Daisy all foamy around the mouth like she had vomited for several days, then I noticed some spots that looked like blood as I cleaned up the urine. Well - when Daisy wets Chubby feels it is his manly duty to cover it up with his own urine, so I wasn't sure whose blood it was, consequently I whisked them both off to the vet.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>By the way - was I this paranoid BEFORE I had dogs, or did dogs bring out this latent tendency toward paranoia? BLOOD IN THE URINE!!! I was sure they were both dying.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The vet is treating them both for a UTI and treating Daisy for gastritis. He x-rayed them, tested their urine, and said they both have high PHs. He wants me to come back in 2 weeks after this round of illness is cured and "we will get to the bottom of this".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas what would cause high PHs in two dogs of the same household at the same time? They are unrelated - I received them as a bonded pair through a rescue group about a year ago. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My golden was just spayed and had lab work and they didn't say anything about her having a high PH, which I think would have shown up in the lab work. So 1 out of my 4 household dogs is okay.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any tips would be helpful. I am absolutely NOT going to Google this because the last time I Googled anything about my dogs was when my golden was spayed and the Drool already suffered through my panic attacks about that subject!</DIV>
