| Can male yorkies get urinary infections? Hi everyone, For the past few days, Duffy has had "excess" pee in his fur around his "wee" area, and he is licking his you-know-what a lot. It's kinda smelly, too. I have looked at past posts about urinary tract infections, but they all seem to be about girl yorkies. He is still peeing on his puppy pad as normal, and doesn't really have any other symptoms. Does anyone know what this could be due to? Thanks so much. Lindsey |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Males can get them. When my female Cali had one she peed on my bed and kept licking herself so I would have him checked out. Good luck

| Males can definitely get them. I knew of one male that got a UTI which was brought on as a result of his neuter surgery. It was awful. I just took him home for the hospital and he would uncontrollably squatted everywhere every minute and I do mean every minute when he was 100% potty trained previously. You should definitely take him to the vet for medication to treat. |
