hi all,
my little guy seems to be a bit sick at the moment--he's drinking and peeing a lot. i took him to the vet yesterday and we're waiting on test results. he's peed in the house a few times because he's been drinking so much (something he's never done before), so tonight i put a pee pad down as i'm out at work and he'll be alone for a while.
my question is: will he know to go on the pad? he's not pad-trained as far as i know (i adopted him a year ago). i know the pads smell as if a dog shoould pee on them and i know they prefer to go on absorbent things. what do you think? and if he doesn't go on them how do i train him to do so? oh, i also put it in an out-of-the-way place, so he doesn't feel like he's soiling the "den." when he peed in the house a few days ago he went in an area he doesn't spend a lot of time in (my bedroom rug!)
thanks in advance for any help!
