Good idea to have her checked, but she acts fine. It might be part of her frequent urniation. I want to get her in for her spay anyway. I probably should have done it sooner. She had the baby teeth that had to be taken out but I opted not to have her fixed at that time because she was just too tiny and 1.6 lb and I was just afraid.
The carpet is a light off white tweed. The landing carpet is a med grey tweed look.
I did just purchase at pet smart something called 'simple solution' oxy charged ,gel brush oder and stain remover. I will be trying that today.
We are just getting ready to put our home up for sale. We are not going to replace the carpet but need to get these stains off!!

Frequent urination combined with a strong odor is definitely grounds for getting her into a vet, even if she is acting fine, because you don't want her bladder getting inflamed or crystals forming which could lead to stones. If she is due for her spay anyway, it is usually cheaper to do blood work combined with a urinalysis anyway (at least around here) and you should have pre-anesthetic blood work done.
Now back to your stain - on a light carpet, I would first try this before using the petsmart product. Pour white distilled vinegar on to the spot directly. Then place baking soda on top of each stain and let it dry. Vacuum it up. Check with a urine black light to make sure you got it all after it has dried. If you see further signs of urine, repeat the above. If any white residue remains from the baking soda, you could add a little more white vinegar and use a little brush and a tiny drop of dish soap in water to wash it off.
I wash pee pads and remove all odors and stains using baking soda and vinegar along with detergent on all kinds of colors without any extra fading (fabrics fade with washing, but I have not seen fading more with this process).
Good luck, and if you are concerned, try an area that is inconspicuous first. This shouldn't harm the rug and it will not chemically set the stain. The product with "oxy" in it is usually hydrogen peroxide based and is a bleaching agent and could fade your carpet some.
