Dog peeing a lot after neuter surgery? Is it normal and what to do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

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.
