It's possible for young puppies to develop urinary tract infections. When a puppy is urinating often but producing only small amounts, it might indicate irritation or infection of the urinary tract. It's important to have a veterinarian assess the situation to provide appropriate treatment. Until you can visit a vet, ensure she has plenty of fresh water and try to observe any other symptoms such as lethargy or lack of appetite.
