Dog keeps urinating but cannot empty bladder

Dog keeps urinating but cannot empty bladder may be due to reasons such as excessive salt in diet, insufficient water intake, and urinary tract diseases. It is recommended for the owner to take the dog to a pet hospital for inspection first, and then take appropriate treatment measures after diagnosis. In addition, when a dog is in a bad mood or scared, it may also experience constant urination but unable to empty the bladder. Therefore, owners should always pay more attention to and accompany their dogs, and try not to disturb them during excretion.

Excessive salt in diet

If owners often feed their dogs with salty food or the salt content in dog food is too high, it may lead to constant urination but inability to empty the bladder in dogs. Moreover, excessive intake of salt can also cause dogs to shed hair and experience hair loss. Therefore, owners should pay attention to their dog's diet and feed them with light food. Never feed dogs with human meals or foods.

Insufficient water intake

If the dog's regular dog food is dry and hard, and the dog does not drink enough water in time, it will lead to insufficient water in the body and constant urination but inability to empty the bladder. Therefore, besides paying attention to a light diet for dogs, owners should also let their dogs drink more water and feed them with diuretic fruits and vegetables, such as cucumber, watermelon, cabbage, and winter melon. If dogs don't like to drink water, a little honey can be added to the water to attract them and help replenish body water and accelerate metabolism.

Urinary tract diseases

If the above situations are ruled out and the dog still cannot urinate, it may be suffering from urinary tract diseases such as urinary tract infection, cystitis, bladder stones, urethral stones, etc. The main symptom is an increase in the frequency of urination, and there may be pain during urination. Some dogs may emit sharp barks. If this is the case, it is necessary to take the dog to the pet hospital as soon as possible for inspection and diagnosis, and then treat it accordingly.
