small bladders???

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some info and advice. About two weeks ago, I adopted a new puppy (Lab mixed with Miniature bull terrier - 3mos). She's the most playful & teething little thing. I'm trying to potty train her and majority of the time she goes outside. I just don't understand why she goes so often (i.e., pottys 3 times in half an hr). Is she marking her terriority or something? I have another puppy (6mos) in the house and didn't have this with her (she's potty trained). Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Cathy :)

She is awfully young, so that may be it. Have you taken her in for her final shots? You might call the vet and see what he/she thinks...it could be a bladder infection, but I have no clue other than that. Vets are always the best alternative, I think. Is that her picture on your signature?? Who ever that is, is just too darn cute.

Thanks for your info. I just spoke to a tech @ the vet clinic and she said that she is getting used to her new surroundings so she maybe marking her territory.

Actually, that's my Sammie (my 6 mos old). Don't have a pic with Maggie yet.

Sammie is just a doll. Is he/she a Shiba Inu?? Looks an awful lot like one!!

Good luck and let us know how the marking contest proceeds!
