Hi Julia
It sounds as though your dog may have a urinary tract infection. This is pretty common, especially in female dogs and puppies.

Usually a dog with a UTI will need to pee more than usual and will often squat but only pass a drop or two, or maybe none at all. They will also find it difficult to control their bladders.

UTI's can be easily treated with antibiotics and I recommend that you get your dog to your veterinarian as soon as you can so that she can get the medication she needs.

Most infections respond quickly to the antibiotics and the dog is back to normal in no time. However, if an infection like this is left untreated it can cause serious health problems and affect major organs such as the kidneys.

So, don't be scared - just get your dog to your vet so that she can get better quickly. Best of luck, hope she's feeling much better soon.
