We've had an issue with our rescue yorkie which just won't seem to go away. We're still battling with house training, there is no denying that, but he is making it huge trouble for us as he squats (has never attempted to lift his leg inside nor outside) and then he'll walk...up the stairs...down the hall...etc, etc, as he is peeing and making a 20ft stream as he goes. You can only imagine how much fun this is to clean up. Add this to some foul smelling urine and licking afterwards and I thought he had a UTI for sure. My last straw was broken when he peed on my bed prior to going to his crate one night after just coming in from outside (and refusing to do anything).

He was at the vet yesterday. I had him ultrasounded and the vet did a cystocentesis (at which point I nearly fainted. Ha). His urine came back totally clean with no bacteria. We gave him an antibiotic anyways just to be safe.

He was neutered prior to coming to the rescue at just over 5 months. The vet is wondering if perhaps he had an undescended testicle, which could possibly cause problems if extracted improperly. The vet records I have for his neuter indicate nothing of the sort, but I'm not sure they necessarily would state that. Simply a theory.

Does anyone else have experience with a dog peeing and walking? Any advice to share?
