I have a 4 month old Chihuahua. He urinates a lot, maybe every 5 minutes when most frequent. Is this normal?

Frequent urination can be the sign of many other diseases or an indicator of urinary incontinence in your pet. If there are other accompanying signs, it’s possible that frequent urination could be a sign of diseases such as cancers, kidney diseases, or systemic disease like Diabetes Mellitus. Depending on what other signs your pet is exhibiting, it can be determined if the frequent urination is a sign or the actual disease. Treatment can vary depending on the cause of incontinence and other related signs. Some common treatments include: Surgery Medications– which drugs are prescribed depends on the cause. If no specific cause is determined, the veterinarian will likely prescribe drugs in trial periods and monitor results to determine if the treatment is successful Hormone replacement therapy
