My dog Romeo has been peeing normal all day. However a few mins ago- he peed but not much came out. Does that mean UTI or could it be normal occurrence? He has peed Normal all day long until this one incident. He is feeling happy and playful. He’s eating good. No blood in urine or cloudy. He’s 8

I would absolutely keep a close eye on Romeo to make sure he urinates appropriately over the next 24 hours. If he is straining, you see blood, or he isn’t himself it is important to get him to a veterinarian. One out of normal urination doesn’t overly concerns me but makes me keep a close eye. If this occurs again bringing a urine sample to the veterinarian can be very helpful along with an appointment. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
