Toileting

[mummytodakota]

Whats normal in regards to how many times per day a puppy urinates? Kya has been peeing at least every 30 mins today! I'm starting to think that this isn't normal as my other puppies never went to the toilet this much. It's so hard to not have accidents because i cant keep on top of when she needs to go, she just goes all the time! Is this right?

Is she peeing the normal amount or just doing small pees? Does she seem to be straining at all?

They are relatively small pees each time, lastnight i was up with her every 30 mins for her to wee again. This doesn't seem normal to me, she seems healthy otherwise apart from her usual sooking etc, although shes never been a really big eater so i dont know whether her appetite is decreasing. She doesnt seem to be straining but she does at least 20 wees during the day & at least 6 at night. Its a bit concerning.

It sounds like she might have a UTI. See if you can get a sample of her urine in a clean container and take it with her to the vet. If you can't get a sample, take her to the vet anyway. UTI's are painful and antibiotics are needed.

I posted a similar topic recently. My 11 wk old lab pees any where any time and frequently. One of the responses to my post was that it could be because she is fed mostly on dry food so she drinks a lot too. That all makes perfect sence. What are you feeding your pup?

She has a mixture of tucker time roll & biscuits from the vets, she doesn't drink much at all. I think maybe i will have to take a trip to the vets, what do you think?
