Hi, so I'm concerned about my puppy as she's had a huge change in her behavior recently. My Bella is a 16 wk old lab mix and She did great with housetraining with using puppy pads in the house due to the bitter cold. she has started peeing on our beds, the sofa, peeing anywhere BUT the pads. She also tried drinking her own pee, and it seems thick, sticky. No foul odor, sediment, or blood noted. Are there signs of a UTI or diabetes I should be looking for? Could it be behavioral?

Bella's behavior now could signify a UTI. Dogs who have a UTI often pee in the home and other inappropriate places. Blood can be microscopic if present in the urine during a UTI, so just because you don't see blood in her urine doesn't mean she does not have a UTI. Have her seen by a vet for this behavior in the morning.
