Why is my dog peeing frequently in small amounts? Is it a UTI?

Question

My dog, who is a 7 year old Shih tzu, appeared to be urinating a lot while we walk. When she squats over concrete I see that some times its a normal amount, some times a tiny amount, and some times nothing at all. Could it be some type of urinary infection?

Yes this sign may be compatible with a urinary tract infection/inflammation. Stress related (idiopathic type of inflammation) infection and presence of crystals are the most common causes of it. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
