I would recommend our veterinarian check a urine sample on Lucky to make sure he doesn't have a urinary tract infection. I would also discuss a prostate infection with your veterinarian since he is still intact. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

This sounds like a urinary infection or a prostate problem. If he’s having trouble urinating this is an emergency as he could die if there is a urinary blockage. Regardless with the pain and crying I recommend a veterinary exam soon. They will run a urinalysis and check his prostate for enlargement. They may run blood work and do an abdominal X-ray to check for bladder stones and the size of his prostate. If it’s an infection they will prescribe antibiotics.

He could have a urinary tract infection or prostate infection, bladder stones or even a bladder tumor. I would recommend taking Milo to your veterinarian for an exam. They would probably want to start by checking a urine sample.
