Colitis

For the past 3 years, Palmer has been house trained.  He is on a bathroom routine and his only accidents were when we first brought him home.  It wasn't until a few days ago that I knew something was wrong... Palmer had 3 accidents (of the number 2 kind) within one week.  I wrote off the first accident as an off-day... the second accident I thought was an indication of dominance... but when the poor guy couldn't even hold it in overnight, I brought him into the vet right away.  When we were in the waiting room at the vet, we saw a Great Dane!

 

After a checkup by the vet and a few lab tests, Palmer was diagnosed with colitis or inflammation of the lower intestine.  Luckily, after a few days on doggie meds, our Palmerpie is back to normal!
