Hi there, My 8 week old rhodesian/heeler female puppy has been peeing every 10 minutes today.. She only pees a small amount and doesn't have any other symptoms (ie. lethargic, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.). She is being very playful and energetic but is spotting pee all over the house constantly. Thoughts??

She may have a urinary infection or a puppy vaginitis. I recommend having a urinalysis done and an exam to see if there is a medical problem. Puppies do urinate frequently but if this is abnormal for her then please get treatment so it doesn’t worsen. Usually a course of oral antibiotics will be prescribed.

It is not normal for puppies to have liquid diarrhea and urinate very frequently. There is some aspect of training that goes along with the urinating but not so frequently. I would recommend bringing Nemo to a veterinarian. They can deworm her, give medication to resolve the diarrhea and discuss diet changes to help with the diarrhea. They may also want to test her for viruses that can cause diarrhea. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

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!
