I have an 11 week old pup, who is still learning to be house broke, we are doing the crate training, but what I have found is that she pees in her cage and lays in it, she also pees all over the house, now ok yea puppies do this but she pees every 10 mins, and she doesn't even have to be playing. She is constantly peeing, sometimes alot and sometimes just a little drop, she poops at least 5 times in a 4 hour span, and I am at the end of my rope I honestly don't know what to do, so you think this could be a UTI or some other type of infection? She always has access to water, I feel it is cruel to take it away from her but she only eats about 4 times a day 8am 12pm 5pm 11pm she eats at 11 because of my work schedule, she is a night dog since I work second shift. Can anyone help does anyone have any advice on what is going on here?

I wasn't expecting a diagnoses over the internet I know you can't do that, I was asking for some advice, that is all, before I go rushing her off to the vet for a UTI and its just normal puppy behavior, I am new to this and I would just like some advice. I figure that this would be a good place to go.

Thank you so much for you guys help, yeah she is definatley never crated for more then 6 hours, sometimes even less, I know that she can't control it, and I think maybe her cage is too big, so I am off to the store tonight to get maybe a smaller crate.

So you have any suggestions on how to catch urine? That just seems as though it would be hard, I will call the vet tomorrow and see if maybe I can just drop off the specimen.

Thank you for the website on UTI''s, I knew when I got my lil miss that it was going to be hard to house break her, I read all kinds of books and did all kinds of research I was prepared, sometimes I feel as though I am paranoid and I don't want to over-react if this is just normal. Thank you again

The six hours is when she is sleeping, this is when I am sleeping I put her in her crate at about 3am, after she has went out then I wake up at 8:30 to take her out again you think this is too long? How long should she be sleeping? I hate to think I am confining her all night and I shouldn't be

Ironically last night she did only have one accident in the house and slept for 6 1/2 hours with out peeing in her cage, she didn't even wake up once to want to go out, I think that maybe she is learning, which is weird since I just posted this, she is starting to learn that her crate is her home, she went in there last night twice once to take a nap around 8pm then at 1:30 am went in there for the night for sleep. Very Strange so I guess she is learning. I called the vet today but no one answered I guess they are only open on saturdays for appointments only, I am gonna call on monday and have them check her for a UTI, but I am feeling much better that it is just normal puppy stuff. So thank you guys for your advice, I will definatley ask if I have anymore question you have all been very helpful. :lol:
