| Help! I need advice on what to do with my 3yr old yorkie. The last few months she has taken to waking up throughout the night to go potty. She used to sleep all night and now I am waking up 2-3 times to bring her outside. I have started restricting her access to water/food after 8pm. She does sleep in my bed. |

| Sudden frequent urinating can be a sign of a urinary track infection (UTI) You should take her to the vet for this, she will be given meds. The longer you wait to see a vet the more serious this could get.

| My boss used to say to never withhold water. If she is pottying frequently and this is abnormal for her then it typically means there's a reason. Depending on her age it could be bladder weakness, uti, stones etc. I would call your vet and ask if you can bring in a urine sample. To get a clean catch follow her with a foam plate....when she squats slide it under her to catch it and put it into a clean container. Please don't withhold water. If she has a uti water is helping flush.....take her out as frequently as she needs.....or put a potty pad down for her.

| I recently had to take a urine sample for my Yorkie's Vet check up. I came up with the idea to use a disposable wee wee pad and flip it over to the plastic side up. I know the place he usually goes first thing when he gets up......so I put the plastic side wee wee pad there. Sure enough he had to go really bad so he did not even notice the pad. There was a nice little puddle and I just picked up the wee wee pad and let it run down into a plastic dental cup. Perfect ! Having a vet try to get a urine sample would totally stress my Yorkie out. |
