I would recommend taking Ginger to a veterinarian and having blood work and a urinalysis performed on her. She can have anything from kidney disease to a urinary tract infection. If the blood work is normal or they cannot find a cause for this I would potentially recommend an ultrasound of her urinary tract if she is having issues urinating. When animal urinate in small frequent amounts and they have trouble it can be something simple like a urinary tract infection but it can also be a bladder stone or even a mass in her bladder.
