My Golden Retriever suddenly pees inside. Could it be a health issue?

Question

Hi! It seems my boy, a five-year old golden retriever suddenly start to pee in the kitchen. Some answers in google said that dogs do that to drive attention. However, I feel he is a nice boy and follow the order all the time. I wonder if there is any health concern. (He has a convulsion on his legs on his left side Since he recover from a dog flu at around 8-month old, like a nerve damage). Thank you so much!

Urinating inside can be a sign of a urinary tract infection or bladder disease, and since this is a sudden behavioral change for Mau Mau I would recommend seeing your veterinarian. They may want to check a urine sample first to rule out an infection. It's also possible that the urination is related to anxiety. If he has had grand mal seizures in the past with his convulsion it is also possible that he is urinating during a seizure.
