Hi
my lurcher bitch is seven weeks pregnant, she seems to want to go to the toilet every hour. If i don't get to her on time she wees in the same place in the kitchen. She is let out last thing at night at about midnight. When i come downstairs in the morning at 7.00, she has always done about three wees and two big poos. I have never had any of my other bitches do this and the biggest litter i've had is twelve. Has any body else experienced this? I know it's not the bitches fault but the smell is awful in the kitchen and it takes a while for the smell to go away.

Yeah it is normal, it's probably the added pressure on her bladder.

Warm regards Susan

If you can, get up during the night and let her out (a bit like puppy training), if necessary set an alarm, and see if this helps.

Thanks for your advice. I shall be getting up quite a few times tonight!
