JJ does something that I have never seen a puppy do before so I think she may have a UTI.
When I take her outside she will potty a lost at first and then after about 5 minute in to play she will potty again but only a little. And it will repeat itself untell we come in.
She does not potty in crate and holds it through the night. I still get up at 11 and 2 to let her out but I have to wake her up to take her out. She only does the repeat potty outside and only if we stay out for a while is this normal.
She is eating full raw now and drinks normal.
She has only had 1 accident in the house my fault though.
When we go potty during the day I play with her we go out about every 1 1/2 hours.
She will go to the vet next week.
But if this may be a UTI I will take her sooner.
Thanks in advance

If it is indeed a UTI (and try to get several samples to have tested, sometimes they don't show up in the first one, and the first morning urine is usually the best bet) try supplementing her with plain yogurt and cranberry tablets.

Stephanie, it doesn't sound like an obvious UTI to me. You said that she just pees more than one time when you've been outside for a long while, right? Do a search here on LB, or google it. Generally the signs are that a dog may pee in the house when she's already housebroken, or straining to pee with nothing coming out, or peeing very frequently. Pus, blood or crystals in the urine and lower back pain are other common signs.
But really, no one can say for sure if it is or it isn't except your vet. You sound really concerned about it, and if a dog is doing something that is making their owner that concerned, then you should just take her in to the vet earlier just to be safe.
if anyone can tell me the signs that would be great
I do not personally have a lot of experience with a dog UTI, but about 2 weeks after I placed a puppy the new owners called and were having potty training trouble that ended up being a UTI. The symptoms he was having were:
*they would take him out to potty and he would pee once or twice.
*they would bring him in on a leash for a 20 minute play time and during that time he would squat and pee 3-4 times and only pee a dime sized amount.
*he was also peeing some in his crate after being in it less than 2 hours
During a routine blood test prior to his ear crop surgery an elevated WBC count was noted and he was checked for a UTI which was positive. He came back to my house to recover from his ear crop for 8 days and after 48 hours on the antibiotics he was peeing the same as the other pups.
The pups I kept from this litter will pee 2/3 times during a 10 minute potty break. The first one is always a lot and the next ones are less.

Take any small clean container and use it to catch the urine when she pees. As an FYI, urine can be stored in the fridge if you catch a sample in the evening.
