My puppy is drinking excessively and peeing often. Is she okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I recently got a 4lb mini dachshund puppy. She drinks water excessively and urinates more frequently than I’ve seen any other dog. For example, she urinated 4x in 20 min yesterday. Is she ok?

IT's definitely abnormal. excessive drinking and urination can be cause by various conditions such as kidney failure, diabetes, liver disease, urinary infection and uterine infection, i strongly recommend taking her to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated.
