Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The urinary tract symptoms you describe could be due to a urinary tract infection, urinary stones, a tumor, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Bory evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further diagnostics would include abdominal imaging and lab work. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

    Lower urinary tract disease is a possibility and since this is a recent change and Bane seems to be only passing small amounts of urine I would recommend having him examined by your vet. A urinary tract infection is possible even though he is on antibiotics, and occasionally we can see bladder stones or other diseases in young dogs as well.
