My newly adopted dog isn't urinating much. Should I be concerned?

Adopted an 11 month old Chihuahua on Saturday from the humane society. Have not seen her urinate other than once that day. She is eating, drinking, and pooping. Should we be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 11 months and 13 days old | 10 lbs

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Congratulations on adopting Bella!!! If she is acting normally, most likely she has urinated and you didn't see her do it. I would think that if she was having some urinary issue you would notice some signs such as straining, licking her perineal area, possibly scooting. I would watch her closely and make sure she is not urinating in the house when no one is looking or make sure that where she lays, you don't find a urine soaked area. Good luck with Bella.
