Why is my puppy peeing discolored drops frequently and only a little?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Bully | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 2 days old | 45 lbs

My dog pee has an orange/brown/redish color and she is peeing more frequently (every 2-1 min) but when she does she only pee a few drops or even just 1 drop. What can she possibly have? She is only 4 months old, she is an inside dog, and she always have fresh water available for when she is thirsty. She's been eating the same food ever since she start eating solid food.

Poor baby. Lilo needs to go her to vet tomorrow for evaluation. She may have a urinary tract infection, vaginitis, or even a bladder stone (although this would be surprising for such a young pup). This isn't an emergency, unless she's keeping you up all night because she has to pee, but I would call first thing in the morning. Try to catch her first pee of the morning in a small Tupperware, store it in the fridge, and bring it to your appointment. Also, try not to let her urinate on the way in to the clinic. They are going to need to do an exam, run some tests on her urine, and maybe take an x-ray of her bladder. Wishing you the best of luck and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
