Any idea of what is wrong with Sophie

[Kristin and Sophie]

Sophie is 13 weeks old and is doing really well with potty training.  Tonight, I took her outside and she must have squatted 4 to 5 times in a 5 minute walk.  I worried about why she was squatting so much.  I brought her inside and within 5 minutes, she peed in the family room.  I immediately took her outside and she squatted again.  I could not tell if anything happened.

Brought her in and within 10 minutes, she peed again in the house - took her outside - she squatted - brought her in and again within 10 minutes she peed again by the back door.  Basically in 1 hour, she peed 3x in the house plus squatted every time I took her outside.

Do you have any idea what could be wrong?  Typically, I take her outside to potty every 1 hour and she's been great.  I have never had her have 3 accidents within 1 hour.

Any advice would be appreciated.  I'm worried about her because this is so out of the ordinary.

Thanks!

If there is an infection in the urinary tract, none of those things will help. Making sure she drinks water and giving cranberry extract capsules (cranberry juice contains sugar and not enough cranberry) can help prevent Urinary issues, but once it's there, nothing is going to get rid of it except antibiotics.

Well, the old time remedy for humans was cranberry juice.  I had a young doctor tell me that when I had several UTIs so I always kept a half gallon on hand.  As soon as I would feel the "tinge" I would drink the whole bottle.  You might try that.  You could also try a vitamin C tablet but they are usually quite large.  So another problem with getting it down.

Kristen, were you able to take Sophie to see a vet today? How is she?

[Kristin and Sophie]

Hi everyone -- thanks so much for checking in on Sophie.  I did not end up taking her to the vet. I checked in on her in her crate a few times overnight ( I was worried about her and wanted to make sure she was ok) and there were no accidents and  I watched her carefully on Friday and made sure that she drank plenty of water.  She has not had any accidents since, nor seemed in any discomfort.  

She didn't show any signs of being lethargic and in fact was as energetic as ever.  Now, I'm wondering if maybe she just had an off day just like people do?   I'm a first time puppy owner and my husband tells me that I am an over protective mom.  :)   I admit that I panicked as that was so out of the ordinary, but since she hasn't shown any signs since Thursday, I'm assuming she is ok.   

Thank you again to everyone for all of your advice.   I really do appreciate it!!!!!!

I am glad Sophie is feeling better.

Not sure how I missed this but it is good to know that Sophie is A-OK.

Certainly sounds like a urinary tract infection.She will neet to see the vet for antibiotics.
