If your dog keeps squatting to relieve himself but nothing is coming out, this can be a sign of a urinary issue that may require veterinary attention.
- Frequent attempts to urinate without producing urine
- Urine dribbling
- Discomfort or whining during urination attempts
- Licking around the urinary opening
- Bloody or unusual urine color
It's important to monitor these symptoms, as they can indicate conditions such as a urinary tract infection (UTI), bladder stones, or other obstructions. If left untreated, these issues can lead to more serious health complications. We recommend having your dog examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
For an expert evaluation and advice, consider booking a consultation with Dial A Vet.
