Yorkie using the bathroom too much?

   2/7/2010 9:54:00 PM    Compose | Reply | Report Abuse | Back

My 10 week old yorkie has peed about 16 times since I got home. (It's 1 now, and I got home at 9)
Why is she doing this? She's been getting plenty of water of course, and she eats normally.
I was at work all day, and my parents said that she peed maybe 2-3 times in the 10 hours I was gone, which is pretty normal. I understand that she has a small bladder, but what could be wrong with her?

-- I know I should take her to the vet soon, I plan on it in the next few days so she can get the rest of her shots and a check up. Just wondering if anyone may know anything else.. I've never owned a Yorkie before. Thanks in advance!

Answers:

a UTI could very easily be the problem. she will need antibiotics to treat this available at the vet.

She may be excited. My puppy is notorious for peeing a million times (small amounts) when she is nervous or excited.
