Hi Gandolf 🦍

Hey, can you believe this? 

My Dane Eurydice was the biggest female Dane 🐘 towering at 98cm to the base of the neck and weighing 77kg which is massive for a girl 🎀🦍

What a shame they didn't get a chance to meet ...

Miss Cow was a front legger and it took around 3 weeks for her to adapt on three (and remember she was certainly much smaller and lighter than your boy).

My guess, having experienced a difficult initial recovery due to her size is that your gigantic boy knows how hard it is to get up and therefore waits until he is too pressed and then it's too late. 

Also, the physical effort of trying to get up may well release his bladder ... 

"He try's so hard to stand but will fall back down on his butt" 

Do you manage to help him stand up or is he too big for you? 

How big is he ??? 

Going back to Eurydice the first weeks I had to help her stand up the best I could, I had a harness, without it I wouldn't have managed.

But even with the harness it was extremely hard to get her up and manoeuvre so she wouldn't fall. 

Peeing was just around the corner in the garden but every hop was a real struggle, it broke my heart as I could see what an enormous amount of effort every step involved and staying up was hard as hell for her.

I would have thought him being an enormous boy and having lifted his leg for peeing all his life adds more to the confusion, he probably hasn't really figured out what to do yet.

Again, I think he still needs time to negotiate life on 3 ...

It is still early days for a huge dog, I think.

If it was me (and given the fact all tests show nothing wrong with his bladder) I'd get human incontinence dippers for the moment and see if that would help.

Thing is also that, psicologically, if he was always clean he will not like to realise he's wetting his bed so the dipper could reduce the anxiety (if that's the case) in realising he did it again. 

Danes are huge thinkers, as you know. 

It is crucial not to overdue things during recovery, I would give him more time to adapt.

I remember Eurydice would stand up and stay put for long periods of time (when she was already hoping a little better) and I didn't get in the beginning but eventually realised she was just getting used to the change in her body and judging balance in her head. 

I'm right here so if you want to chat as we both have big 🦍🦍 feel free to PM me and I'll send you my number.

Sending you a big hug and XXL cuddles to Gandolf
