My dog is peeing everywhere after spay surgery. Is this normal?

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 5 years and 4 months old | 6 lbs

My dog was spayed 5 days ago and she has been peeing everywhere and she's never done that before. Is that normal?

Hello. If this was not a problem before, then this is not normal behavior after a spay operation. My guess is Cheerio has developed a urinary tract infection & possibly needs antibiotics. Talk with your vet tomorrow & I am sure they will be able to help with her urinary issue. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
