My 10-week puppy pees a lot and dribbles. Bladder infection?

Hi, puppies can get urinary tract infections. I would watch her for urinating more frequently and in small amounts. At 7 months, she should be mostly house trained so this is not likely a behavior issue but it is still possible. I would take her to the vet for an exam if it happens a third time. They can put her on some antibiotics for this and she should be fine. Good luck!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Hazel. Anytime you acquire a new pet, it is important to have an examination by a veterinarian. A urine sample can be tested at this time. It can be hard to differentiate puppy behavior from disease without testing the urine. Based on these results, medication can be prescribed if a urinary tract infection is found. Rarely puppies will have congenital disorders causing the urine to leak. This is rare though. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Roxy. It is always difficult to tell if puppies are having true urinary issues verses potty training problems. If she continues this behavior, she will need to see a veterinarian to see if she has a urinary tract infection. It is a more likely condition in a female pup given their anatomy. In the meantime, watch for blood in her urine and continue to take her out frequently. I hope this information helps!

It is possible that Koa has a urinary tract infection. But at her young age it could just be that she is not sufficiently potty trained yet (which is normal for a pup her age). I would recommend having her checked by the vet. They will likely want to do a urinalysis to look for an infection.

Your puppy may have a urinary tract infection. Since puppies can deteriorate very quickly (they heal quickly as well), I suggest you make an appointment with your veterinarian. He may need to be prescribed antibiotics and pain medicine.

She may have a urinary infection or a puppy vaginitis. I recommend having a urinalysis done and an exam to see if there is a medical problem. Puppies do urinate frequently but if this is abnormal for her then please get treatment so it doesn’t worsen. Usually a course of oral antibiotics will be prescribed.

14 weeks is very young to be fully house trained. The best thing to do is have a urine sample checked by your vet. If there is an infection then it can cause these symptoms and you will need antibiotics to fix this. If there urine is normal, then it is just behavioral and training problems associated with his age.
