My 12 year old poodle, Ranger has been having a lot of urine accidents in the house for the last several months.

He had crappy fur but antibiotics cleared that up. He has muscle twitches and he is a very nervous boy who has had seizures in the past.

He eats less but he is NOT skinny.

The vet ruled out UTI, kidney disease, lyme disease and cushings. (his ACTH was normal which surprised my vet he was sure it would be positive)

He arches his back more and has been drinking his water funny for over a year. I don't notice anything with his tongue but he bobs his entire head up and down when he drinks. I thought it was because he didn't want to get his ears wet but now you guys have me wondering if he has a tumor.

We can't afford to treat if he does and he still loves to play, walk, etc. so I guess I'll keep an eye out. thanks for this thread (I think). It could explain a lot about his behavior.
