7 Possible Causes of Frequent Urination in Puppies and What You Can Do About It
I don’t know anything about you, but I bet it’s worrisome for you to see your pup urinate frequently. Perhaps his pup has been urinating in inappropriate areas or urinating constantly. There are many possible causes for a puppy to frequently urinate small amounts and it’s important to get to the root of it to keep him healthy. Here are 7 possible causes of your pup’s frequent urination and what you can do about it.
1. A puppy who frequently urinates a small amount of urine may have a hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalances alter the pH of the urine, facilitating the growth of bacteria.
2. Your pup who frequently urinates in small amounts may have a bladder infection caused by bacteria. The bacteria irritate the bladder wall, causing the constant need to urinate.
3. Bladder stones could be causing your pup to urinate frequently in small amounts. Bladder stones form when minerals in the urine turn into solid objects. It occurs more easily when the urine pH is too high or too low. Bladder stones are also very painful. A good way to prevent them is to administer a homeopathic remedy that promotes a healthy flow of urine and flushes out toxins.
4. A condition called psychogenic polydipsia can cause your pup to obsessively drink water and urinate excessively. This condition is not serious and does not need treatment.
5. Urinary incontinence resulting from a birth defect can cause your pup to urinate frequently in small amounts. This is a common problem for huskies in particular and surgery is usually necessary.
6. A puppy who frequently urinates in small amounts may have behavioral issues that need to be addressed. Your puppy may urinate frequently because he is territorial or because he urinates when he is excited, happy, or scared. For dogs that have the latter problem, diaper them to prevent lumps. Keep territorial dogs away from windows if possible so they don’t see other dogs or passersby.
7. A serious illness may cause your pup to urinate frequently in small amounts. Kidney failure, diabetes, liver disease, and pituitary gland abnormalities are all possible causes of frequent urination in small amounts.
As you can see, there are any number of factors that could be causing your pup to frequently urinate small amounts. The first step to solving this problem is to go to the vet and get tested to find out the cause. Sometimes the cause can be quite serious and must be treated with medication or corrected with surgery. In most cases, lifestyle change and homeopathic treatment will do the trick. Your best bet is to focus on preventative treatment rather than simply taking action when you notice your pup frequently urinating small amounts.
Make sure your dog has plenty of fresh, filtered water to drink and gets plenty of exercise. Take him out for frequent walks so he has plenty of opportunities to empty his bladder. Feed it only raw, unprocessed or home-cooked food and give it homeopathic treatment on a regular basis. Homeopathic treatments prevent and treat infections by maintaining a healthy bladder, a healthy flow of urine, and a strong immune system. Make no mistake about it. These simple lifestyle changes will keep your dog healthy and full of vitality, whatever the cause of the infections!
