My dog ate soap, now peeing a lot and having accidents. Is it related?

Question

My one-year-old dog ingested some soap yesterday. Today he is urinating frequently and has had two accidents in the house which never happens. Could it be related ? Pet's info: Dog | Irish Terrier | Male | neutered

No, this ingestion of soap is likely not related to Lou urinating frequently and having accidents in the house. Soap is generally non toxic. It sounds like he may have a UTI. I would have him seen by a vet tomorrow for a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis to diagnose if he does have a UTI. If he does have one, he will need antibiotics to treat it.
