Pet's info: Dog | Rhodesian Ridgeback | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 2 days old | 11 lbs
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.
