My dog pees while pooping and wets his front legs. Is this normal?

Question

Hello, I had a question about my husky. When he poops, he also pees simultaneously. And the worst part is that he pees all over his front legs, but doesn't seem to care. Even when he has peed a couple times, he still pees the entire time while having to go #2. Is this abnormal? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 55 lbs

Sometimes the pressure of defecating can stimulated the bladder, and if he is relaxing himself to poo he could concurrently be relaxing his bladder schinter muscle. It is certainly a nuisance but can happen. In a young dog I wouldn't worry too much about this but it would be a good idea to have him examined to ensure that nothing is causing unnecessary pressure in his back passage, such as a large prostate or full anal glands.
