I would have your dog checked for a urinary tract infection. These types of infection can cause a change in the color and consistency of the urine. It is normal for male, intact dogs to have some discharge from the prepuce but if the urine itself is abnormal he needs to be evaluated by your vet and have his urine checked.

The urine could be yellow due to dehydration, infection or inflammation. Your veterinarian will likely recommend lab work (CBC, chemistry panel, urinalysis) as well as abdominal x-rays. Any treatment will depend on the diagnosis. If she is behaving normally, she can wait to see your vet. If she is lethargic, painful or cannot urinate, then have her seen sooner.

The urine in the pictures still looks yellow to me! The degree of "yellowness" in pet (or human!) urine can depend on hydration level. The more water they drink, the more dilute their urine and the lighter in color it will be. Changes in color of urine that would be concerning to me would be pink, red, orange, or green.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Cheezy. The color of a dog's urine will vary with their hydration status. So the less water she has consumed, the darker yellow her urine will be. This could be normal for her assuming she is not straining to urinate, going more frequently or having accidents in the house. These could be signs of another problem such as a urinary tract infection. If you are concerned, I would have her veterinarian perform a urinalysis to rule out any other disease. I hope this information helps!
