Puppy leaking urine

by Susan
(Waterford, MI)

My female puppy is now 6 1/2 months old.

She has recently started leaking urine. From what we can tell it seems to be only while she's lying down.

She has been house trained for 2 months.





Hi Susan
This doesn't sound like a housebreaking issue to me, and my first guess would be that she has a urinary tract infection.

This is fairly common in puppies, especially females, and it can cause a loss of bladder control as well as excessive urination.

This sort of 'leaking' is definitely not normal in a pup who is young and previously able to 'hold it'. I'd strongly recommend a trip to the veterinarians' office for a check up.

Left untreated, UTI's can cause some serious health problems so please get her examined. Best of luck, hope she's doing much better soon.
