I posted earlier about my 16 month old yorkie (3 lbs) who will not potty train, but wanted to get info on a different avenue. I have researched some on bladder infections which can cause frequent urination. At what point should I consider it abnormal potty training issues and more a medical problem?

He goes several times during the 8 hours I am at work (in his belly band), and even every 2 hours when I am home. He can hold it for 6-7 hours at night, but some nights he is up 3-5 times...(although this might be me waking him up since i toss and turn).

I dont see that he is in pain, or blood...should I be concerned that there should be a bigger cause other then just a stubborn potty trainer?

Thanks!
