I have a 10 week old SBT, everything has been great so far. This morning I got up and took him out to go potty, same as everyday and he went pee like 4 times. I thought it was kinda of weird but just ignored it. Then through out the morning he has been going pee very often like 3-4 times in like 10 min, but the pee is very small like a few drops and it is very dark like a brownish orange color. He is not acting funny or lethargic in any way but I have never seen him do this, so I don't think its normal.

Any ideas or thoughts on what I should do? Should I be concerned ?

Could well be an infection, see what the vet says.

As above, it sounds very much like an infection has set in. It does happen sometimes and it most often isn't through any fault of the owner. Smile A vet will be able to do an examination and give an appropriate diagnosis for you.

Until then, make sure he has easy access to clean, fresh water at all times. Smile

took him in to the vet. They say he has the start of or a mild UTI. Did a check up everything else is great , no fever. Got him on drops, says it should clear up in 2 days but will be on drops for 2 weeks.

i had some cranberry forte tablets for myself ..
offered one to Lady .. and she loved it :-)
now when i take one .. she gets one as well ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i did precheck that cranberries are ok for dogs:
http://raisinghealthydogs.com/the-health-benefits-of-cranberries-for-dogs

" Cranberry juice lowers the pH of the urine, making it more acidic. This action makes it a hostile environment for pH sensitive bacteria. Secondly, cranberries contain at least two agents that act as bacterial inhibitors. Consequently, many medications for urinary tract infections work in the same manner."

( she also gets goji berries mixed in with her daily food )
