Hi! Brand new Frenchie Mama here (although I also have 2 ten year old Labs so I'm not a new dog mama). I just brought my 9 week old puppy home last Saturday. Since about Monday, she has been urinating very frequently, sometimes only a small amount. Sometimes she just squats and nothing comes out. At first we thought she was trying things out to see what got her treats and what didn't. Of course, peeing/pooping on the puppy pads or outside gets her treats and anywhere else does not. I do tell her no when she goes on an unapproved surface. I understand that she does not have much control, so we're just happy when she goes where she's supposed to at this point. But, I am concerned that she might have a UTI. The vet did not think that was the case when I brought it up at her appointment on Tuesday. She has access to water all day long and gets about an ounce of water to soften her food at every meal. Last night she peed and pooped in her crate and did not let me know she needed out. She's right by my bed in her crate so I hear her if she whines. And just a few minutes ago, after being out and near her puppy pads, she just peed on her bed in her crate. I thought they weren't supposed to do that so I'm really concerned and upset about this. I don't want this to be a continuing thing. I'm a little sleep deprived right now, so it is entirely possible that I am blowing this all out of proportion. Also, I apologize if this message isn't totally coherent, again, I'm pretty sleep deprived right now.
Oh! She also got shots yesterday, so might that have to do with the peeing and pooping in her crate? The breeder says they can be woozy after that, maybe she just didn't wake up fully?
