Hi Chrissy! I'm sorry Dexter has a UTI! It can take at least 48 hours to see improvements in signs from a UTI, so it could be that he's peeing in the hallway because he's still experiencing the urge to urinate right away. Keep in mind as well that he's only 10 weeks old. He will not even be closed to house trained at this age, so he's not being "naughty" by urinating in the hallway, he's simply not old enough to have bladder control. I would take him outside to urinate every hour, and keep an eye on him for now. Antibiotics can cause stomach upset, which may lead him to not eat as much, so try feeding him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If Dexter continues to have accidents in the home over the next couple of days despite you taking him out quite frequently, then I would have him seen by a vet again.
