Why is my senior dog struggling to pee with a weak stream and urges?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 9 years old | 20 lbs

I have pug 9y, he is having trouble while urinating although urine is clear, no fever and no hunger loss but stream is very poor and he try to urinate a lot, please tell me what could be the possibility? This problem may be due to prostate or bladder stone but i am not sure. Would you please suggest a test. Any diet which should be given? Please help. Thanks!

I would have Nawaab seen by a vet, it may be a bladder problem or a prostate problem. I recommend having blood work, a urinalysis, and prostate exam to start with to try to figure out what is going on. I'd have him seen by a vet today.
