My puppy pees outside then inside. Could it be a UTI at 9 weeks?

I'm concerned my puppy might have a UTI. He will pee outside once or twice then come inside and pee again or he will pee inside then a few minutes later go again. Is this possible? He is 9 weeks old. Recently had his first shots and dewormed.

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.

Sterile cystitis (inflammation without bacteria present) can occur sometimes. I would see how Korra does on the medication and after the course of meds is done schedule a recheck UA to see if the blood and inflammation have resolved. If her symptoms continue, worsen, or the UA shows no changes, investigating for other causes behind it with additional tests such as ultrasound or X-rays may help determine what is going on. Sometimes, tumors or cysts can cause bladder irritation, however, these are less common in very young dogs. Diet can also play a factor, so if no other apparent causes are found, trying an inflammation-friendly food from your vet may be a good option.
