Springer frequently squatting

[cjthomps]

My dad's 1 1/2 year old Springer is having a bit of a issue. For the last week, while taking her outside and after her initial pee, she continues to squat frequently. She seems to have the urge to urinate, but nothing comes out after the initial squat. She has no abnormal blood or discharge in her urine. She hasn't gone in the house or anything, but a bit of urine did escape as she was relaxing after exercising a couple days ago.

She is an in-house dog and he takes her out frequently during the day and night. After she pees, she will squat 2 or 3 more times, when nothing much is urinated. This is a sudden change from her normal habit. Her eating and drinking habits are normal and she seems to be a little restless at night. Why does she suddenly have the constant urge to urinate?

Bladder infection? That would be my guess... but you may need to see a vet.

Good Luck!

Thanks guys...he's taking her to the vet on Thursday; I just wanted to see if anyone had a similar happening with their pooch.
