There are many symptoms of abnormal urination in dogs, and each symptom corresponds to a different disease. As parents, if we want to prescribe the right medicine, we must first basically diagnose what disease the dog has.
Difficulty of urination
Bladder and urethral stones are one of the most common diseases in canine urinary tract stones, mainly seen in middle-aged and elderly dogs. Male dogs often have stones at the same time as the bladder and urethra, while female dogs mainly have bladder stones. After getting sick, dogs will experience symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, hematuria, and urination. Sometimes small crystalline substances can be seen in the urine.
Dogs urinate at home are caused by these reasons. You don’t know yet that

The urine volume increases
Dogs with diabetes have a much higher demand for drinking water than usual, and the urination volume will naturally increase accordingly. However, in addition to the increase in urine volume, dogs' urination frequency has also increased. Therefore, if you see that the dog's water consumption increases and the amount of urination and the number of urination increases significantly, you need to pay more attention.
Water drinking more than usual
Dog urination will increase relatively
Usually turbid urine
The urine of dogs is turbid, or mixed with pus or blood, which may be caused by urethritis. Because the urethral mucosa is stimulated by mechanical and chemical pathogenic factors, it causes secondary infection after injury, bacteria lurking in the urethra will invade the prostate, vas deferens, epididymis, etc., which can easily cause complications such as prostatitis and cystitis, and even affect fertility or lead to chronic renal failure.
Sick dogs urinate frequently, but they have difficulty urinating, and they are painful and restless when urinating, and their urine is linear and intermittently discharged.
Because there are inflammatory secretions in the urine, the urine is turbid. In severe cases, there is pus or blood, and sometimes it is excreted from the fallen mucosa.
The blood in the urine
The kidneys have the function of metabolizing waste in the body and maintaining the stability of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium and other electrolytes and acid-base balance. Once problems arise, the function of concentrating urine and excreting toxins will not be completed, and the toxins in the blood will not be excreted, which will trigger various toxic reactions. Under normal circumstances, the dog's urine should be clear. If the urine is thick, brown, water-like, soy sauce-colored or turbid, if you wash rice water, you should seek medical treatment immediately.
