Our Puppy Is 14 Weeks Old And He Seems To Have No Control Of His Bladder- Can …
Our Puppy is 14 weeks old and he seems to have no control of his bladder- Can this be related to his testicles putting pressure on his bladder since they have not dropped yet? I read that can take up to 6 months?

This is a baby puppy. You didn’t specify the size – if he’s a small breed, they have absolutely minuscule bladders. I think your expectations might be a little high.
What does your housetraining look like? He should be going out every half hour, before and after every meal, playtime, and crate session. I would also take him out in the middle of play sessions. Furthermore, he should be leashed to an adult if he isn’t crated.
Thank you for the response- he is a Lab. This is our 6th pup we’ve owned and we have never had this issue in the past. The weird thing is the discharge does not even smell like urine- it’s clear as water. We take him out several times a day as you mentioned above. This is only our 2nd male pup, so it may just be how it is with boys, but our now 2 year old male lab was potty trained with ease- but not all pups are created equal!
…okay, at this point I’d encourage you to speak to your vet. i don’t want to scare you but diluted urine is something we encountered with our Doberman puppy, and it turned out he had one barely functioning kidney.
