&lt;p&gt;Over the past 6 weeks or so, I have castrated 4 dogs. Three routine neuterings and one to aid an anal adenoma. However, a few days after surgery, two of the routine ones came back having started urinating more and seemingly not able to hold their bladder. Not a true incontinence - they seemed conscious that they were urinating,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First case - 8mo old spaniel puppy, seen by my colleague for this urination, Urinalysis pH 6.0, USG 1.014, pro + all else negative. Told to monitor. Not been seen since (presented beginning of december)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second case - 18mo old pointer, pre op bloods done at owner&amp;#39;s request - mild increase in K+ but also haemolised sample. When presented today, urinalysis pH 6.0, USG 1.016 pro + all else negative.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both got a dose of meloxicam at the time of the op but nothing since (can&amp;#39;t remember if the puppy got continued oral meloxicam after POC). No antibiotics given.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is the USGs that are worrying me. Is there something I should be watchful for, or just try further pain relief as suggested above?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
