Why is my dog peeing a lot and very frequently all of a sudden?

Question

My dog is with a sitter. According to her, he has urinated (full volume) every 30 minutes since he arrived there, but has had no water. He only had dinner - which is Darwin’s Raw Food. He started carprofen for his arthritis on Monday. Any thoughts as to what could be going on? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

Hello, and thanks for your question. A sudden and dramatic increase in urine production is always a concern, and is something that needs to be addressed by a vet as soon as possible. Increased urine production can indicate diabetes, kidney disease, Cushings disease, or another internal metabolic problem - have your dog sitter stop the carprofen until Higdon is seen by the vet, as carprofen shouldn't be given if there may be kidney disease. Your vet will likely want to look at some bloodwork and evaluate a urine sample to determine what's causing the increased urine production. I hope this helps!
