My moms 1 1/2 year old Minature pinscher is peeing stingy stuff. She is just getting done with her heat cycle but we noticed today she isn't peeing like she normally does and when she does its like stinky. Thank you in advance!!

When the urine smells bad it’s a sign of infection. I recommend an exam and urinalysis. If she has a urinary infection she will need a course of oral antibiotics to clear it up. If she was bred that may have been the cause of the infection, or if she’s been licking herself a lot while she’s been in heat. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Lola.
