Frequent, small urination points to a urinary problem, including urethritis, injury, and cystitis. It is serious; untreated it can cause blockage. See a vet for the right treatment; do not medicate blindly without a cause.
My 14-month-old kitten urinates often but only a little each time; otherwise normal – what’s wrong?

What does blood in urine and refusal to eat mean in a dog?
Blood in urine has several causes; most are urinary - urethritis, cystitis, kidney issues, stones, tumors - or trauma from impact. Poisoning causing hemolysis (onions, leeks, rat poison) also does it, as do blood parasites from ticks (babesia, anaplasma, Lyme). Mild urethritis keeps spirits and appetite, so observe with antibiotics; with lethargy, fever, or anorexia, see a vet to avoid worsening.
Why does my male dog keep licking his genitals?
Frequent genital licking in a male dog may be from being in heat, or from diseases like cystitis, scrotitis, or balanitis. During heat, the genitals may have odor or discharge, prompting licking. If energy, appetite, and urination/defecation are normal, it's likely heat. If there are other abnormal symptoms, it could be disease — observe carefully.
My dog’s urine ends with blood, then dribbles.
Blood in urine can come from urinary disease, food poisoning, or estrus. For females, rule out false bleeding from estrus. Cystitis, UTI, urethral stones, and tumors all cause blood. Onion, chocolate, scallion, or garlic poisoning can too. Increase water; if persistent, see a vet.
My dog will not eat kibble, only meat, is lethargic and has vomited many times. What medicine and what do I do?
Vomiting with lethargy can be overeating, blockage, parasites or parvo. Do not blind-medicate; try vet symptomatic care and see a vet if no improvement.
Why Does a Kitten Have So Much Eye Discharge?
Excessive eye discharge in kittens usually points to a dusty environment, a diet that is too salty or low in water, a bacterial or viral infection, dacryocystitis, or feline herpesvirus (cat flu). Clear, watery discharge from irritation can simply be wiped away, but yellow-green, sticky, or painful eyes need a vet's diagnosis and targeted treatment. If discharge comes with lethargy or loss of appetite, see a veterinarian promptly to avoid complications.
What medicine should I give a kitten that drips urine while walking?
What medicine to give depends on the cause, so since symptoms are unclear, get a urinary and kidney check at a hospital. Dripping urine usually points to urinary disease: stones, crystals, cystitis, or infection. Most cases are partial blockage showing frequent, dribbling urine; early treatment avoids full blockage, which can burst the bladder and risk life. For infection, oral veterinary amoxicillin powder plus a diuretic at home helps; keep water up. A frightened kitten may drip from stress incontinence and needs only observation, no medicine.
What causes a dog to leak urine?
Urine leakage can be physiological or pathological. First, many dogs dribble when very excited, especially puppies and seniors with weak muscle/nerve control; this is normal — just clean them up. Second, urinary or nerve diseases such as cystitis, urethral stones, UTI, spinal injury, disc disease or spinal tumor can cause leakage; see a vet to find the root cause and treat.
