My chihuahua puppy is leaking urine after crystal diagnosis.

Question

My dog was diagnosed with urine crystals around 2 weeks ago. I just had his urine tested yesterday and they said they were gone, but today, he peed in my lap and now he is dripping pee and can't seem to control his bladder. He is a 6 month old chihuahua. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 17 days old | 10 lbs

Urine crystals often (depending on the type of crystals) form when they have a bladder infection. This would normally be the cause of a young dog having incontinence issues, but it's also possible that he has a nerve issue, or hereditary problem like ectopic ureters. It's best to have Asher rechecked by your veterinarian sometime soon. They can give you more information about the cause of his current urine dribbling and offer additional testing if necessary. I hope that helps and Asher gets better soon.
