5 month old puppy suddenly peeing everywhere - surprises him too as he jumps and starts running everywhere leaking as he goes....
Hi Shirley
You need to get this puppy to your veterinarian for an examination - it could be that he has a urinary tract infection that's causing him to need to pee urgently. If he's also peeing more frequently, and sometimes only passes a few drops then this is the most likely cause.
But there could be other reasons for these symptoms and only your veterinarian can make an accurate diagnosis after evaluating him.
Left untreated a UTI can cause serious problems and affect other major organs such as the kidneys. It's also very disruptive for both of you when he has this problem, so the sooner you get him to your vet the better.
Best of luck, hope he's doing much bette rsoon.
