Why does my dog urinate drop by drop?
Dribbling urine can come from heat, urinary tract disease, or insufficient water intake. In heat, dogs mark territory with small amounts; infections like urethritis, stones, or cystitis cause frequent, painful, bloody dribbling. Low water and salty food burden the kidneys, so offer bland food and plenty of water.

What should I do if my dog’s penis is inflamed and swollen?
Inflammation and swelling may be bacterial or fungal tissue inflammation; clean with saline, give a broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, observe 3 to 4 days, and continue a week if improving.

A urinary infection with painful urination also causes licking and swelling; if the dog drinks little and has frequent, scanty, yellow, painful urination, see a vet.

One to two days before labor the dog is restless and digs, seeking a dark, safe place.

Watery discharge with a little blood, then contractions, frequent urination and fast breathing mean birth is imminent.
What Happens When a Dog Has Too Much Phosphorus?
