Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is a lot of urinating in a short period of time. Nemo is very young at just 5 weeks of age and puppies do urinate more than adults but that is excessive. What is she drinking and eating? I would be sure you are feeding canned puppy food at this point and try to wean off any dairy, milk or puppy formula. If she continues to urinate this much you should try to collect a urine sample and have Nemo seen by a Vet. I wish you both the best!
