Why is my new dog peeing constantly and having bladder control issues?

Question

Just picked up an 8 month Pitt Bull terrier up today. He was adopted a couple weeks ago by college kids but prooved to be too much for them. They had him neutered and he's been vaccinated. But since we got him home he's been peeing frequently. Can't keep up. He'll pee without letting us know and without squatting. As if he has a bladder control problem. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 36 lbs

This type of urination could actually be due to a bladder infection. Rogue could have a UTI causing him to have to urinate without warming. I recommend taking him into the vet now or first thing in the morning for an exam. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, and a urinalysis to diagnose if he does have a UTI. If he does, he will need antibiotics to treat it.
