Sounds like the classic signs of a urinary track infection. You need to go to the vet to get some antibiotics.

And Beagles are such sweet dogs.

It does sound like a UTI to me too. I wish the vet could take your dog sooner. UTIs spread fast and they are very uncomfortable.

Also, if you can get her there before she pees, then they could get an immediate sample. But probably not likely since she is having to go all the time. The reason they need to keep her is they will have to wait for her next round of urine. Ask them to give you a call when they finally get a sample and then you could go pick her up and get her away from the stressful situation.

Thank you all so much! I'm really hoping that's all it is.

Is it possible for me to collect the urine and bring it in? I'm not sure how I would do it but if it would keep her from being locked in a cage all day I'll find a way!

Yes you can, an easy way to do this is to use a heavy paper plate and place it underneath her- then pour the contents into a plastic bag.

The vet can get some urine if they need to.

Vet had a cancellation this afternoon. She felt stones in her bladder and took an x-ray. Her bladder is FULL of stones. Surgery is scheduled for Monday (the soonest they could do it). I'm so scared for her. I'm reading about stones and they sound so dangerous. Will she be ok over the weekend?
