Why is my senior dog suddenly peeing in bed, eating, and drinking?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a 9 yr old yorkie, have adopted her 5 yrs ago, she was mistreated badly before.. here she’s a queen. Loved and cared. Never had problems, but since this week started peeing in my bed.. she’s eating a lot (her food) and drinking so much water.. am concerned about her

Excessive drinking and urination can be a sign of a serious medical condition, such as kidney failure, diabetes, Cushing's disease and many more. you will need to take her to the vet ASAP in order to have a urine analysis and blood test done, your vet will then reach a diagnosis and treat her accordingly.
