Pet's info: Dog | Akita | Male | neutered | 1 year and 8 months old | 100 lbs
My 21 month old Akita just got neutered yesterday, he has been urinating very much, and has had two accidents in home in large amounts! Is this normal, if so how many times should I take home out to prevent in home accidents?

The anaesthetic can stay in the system up to 24 hours which could still be effecting him. Alternatively he could be uncomfortable down there following the procedure. I wouldn't worry about it as yet if he seems bright but I would certainly get it checked out if it continues for a few days. Let him out often to try and avoid accidents.

Yes, it can be normal. It's a good sign that Tucker urinated already when he got home, and it could be that he simply doesn't have to urinate again. It would be concerning if he didn't urinate at all today after the surgery, but urinating once shows that things are working as they should. I wouldn't be concerned about this, but you can monitor him to be safe, and if he hasn't urinated again in 24 hours, then I would have him seen by a vet. I hope this helps and Tucker recovers well from his neutering :-)

This may be a temporary issue after neutering surgery, but it may be a sign correlated with urinary tract infections, which needs to be ruled out first. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Urine analysis and antibiotics may be needed.
