Senior unneutered dog, good spirits and appetite, but frequent urination about every half hour, large volume, often on the bed; ultrasound shows no reproductive inflammation, blood tests normal except mild heart failure
Increased urination in senior dogs is common; aging affects urinary and gut function, needing more water to excrete waste, and temperature changes alter intake. If drinking and urinating rise with weight loss, suspect diabetes and check glucose and urine sugar with low-sugar diet. Painful urination or genital licking suggests cystitis or urethritis; congenital or metabolic diseases like diabetes, kidney disease or Cushing's also cause it.
