He may have a urinary tract infection if it has a foul odor and he is urinating more than once every hour. If that is the case then a brief exam and urinalysis through your vet should be able to detect the problem. If he does have an uncomplicated case of a UTI then a short course of antibiotics can resolve the problem. Best wishes and take care.

    There could be a medical reason behind Frankie urinating in the house, such as a UTI or bladder stones. I do recommend calling your vet on Monday to make an appointment for him to be seen. The vet can do a physical exam, blood tests, and a urinalysis to see if he does have a UTI or bladder stones. If he has one of those things, the vet can discuss treatment options with you. Should a medical problem be ruled out, then the vet can discuss behavioral methods to deal with the behavior, but first it is important to have this health check done. Best of luck!
