My puppy has diarrhea and now pees a lot. Should I be worried?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
Our 10 month teacup yorkie has had diarrhea for 3 days. Vet had us start feeding her Hills I/D canned food yesterday. She vomited once last night but not since. Her stool is still runny but much less frequent today; however tonight she started urinating frequently and it's completely clear. Should we be concerned? Our vet is closed now for the weekend.

I wouldn't be too concerned about increased urination - the canned food has an increased water content and this may be the reason she is urinating more often. If you notice blood in her urine or if she seems to be straining to urinate while passing small amounts you may want to check in with your vet to make sure she doesn't have a urinary tract infection.

The straining to urinate with small drops would make me concerned there is an urinary infection which will make training harder to do. The diarrhea can be from intestinal parasites if she has not yet been treated or diet and stress. If she is eating and drinking well with no vomiting then I would not be concerned there is a major illness causing these symptoms and would say stress and diet are a higher possibility. It is best to have your vet check her urine and stool sample because antibiotics may be needed to clear the problems

I would recommend that you have Snappy examined by the vet as soon as possible. The lethargy and dark urine indicate significant dehydration. Chronic diarrhea in a puppy could be caused by intestinal parasites or food intolerance. The sudden change in behavior could just be due to dehydration or it could be an infection, such as a bacteria or virus like Parvovirus. The vet will do an examination and may recommend testing for Parvo and/or intestinal parasites.
