Why is my husky puppy drinking lots of water and peeing pus often?

Skye is a beautiful girl! This excessive drinking and urination could be due to a UTI or bladder stones. You will need to take her into a vet today for a blood test and urinalysis to see if one of those conditions is causing her symptoms. Once the cause is found, the vet can discuss treatment options. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is definitely normal for puppies to urinate more frequently than adult dogs. Every few minutes is excessive. Some puppies are just fascinated by water and drink constantly regardless of thirst. The 25 ounces is about double what Wallace needs per day, dog’s typically drink 1-2 ounces per pound. You should have him seen by a vet to rule out a UTI, kidney disease, or very rare forms of diabetes. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you have!

Poor Kato! If he has blood in his urine, this is definitely abnormal and indicates that he has a medical problem causing the urinary accidents. This could be caused by a bladder or kidney infection, bladder stones, or a prostate problem of some kind. The weight loss could also be related, especially if he has a problem with his kidneys or if he hasn't been eating as much lately due to discomfort in his bladder. I would definitely recommend having him seen by a vet as soon as you are able to - he/she can do a urinalysis as well as x-rays or ultrasound of his bladder and prostate if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.

It's normal for puppies to have very clear, dilute urine because their kidneys are still developing. They can also get urinary tract infections and other issues as well. I would recommend scheduling a vet visit (or telling them you want to talk about this issue when you schedule his next vaccine appointment) and using a small tuberware to catch his first urination of the morning to bring to that appointment. They can check to see how concentrated his urine is. Keep the urine in the fridge if it's going to be more than 30-60 minutes until your appointment. Good luck!

Increased water intake can be observed with many conditions such as Cushing's disease, urinary tract infections, high calcium (which can happen from many conditions, and even cancer. In some cases it can be due to warm weather as well. I recommend that you have Nidjie evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment which may include bloodwork, urinalysis and imaging. Good luck!

There are a number of things that can cause a dog to drink more and urinate more. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to know what is causing the problem without doing some testing. Usually the first test will be to have your veterinarian evaluate a urine sample. That may be able to tell us what is going on, but if it doesn't, then they may also need to check some blood work. I would recommend having your veterinarian examine Moose today to figure out what is going on with him, so you can start treatment and get some sleep tonight. Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

A pet should always have access to fresh water. You can set up a schedule for going out. For example, take them out first thing in the morning, around midday, dinner time and just before bed. For the puppy, the general rule is to go no longer than 1 hour per month of age plus one hour before allowing him to go out to eliminate. This means the Husky should be taken out every 6 hours.
