If her urine is very dark and unusually foul, she may have a urinary tract infection. Make sure she is taking in alot of water. I just went through that with my Jack Russell. The vet told me to monitor him and make sure he is drinking water. I don't know that cranberry is a wise choice. It's acidic and might not be handled by her tummy too well.

There are a few questions I have for you. Is your dog overweight? When she goes outside is she actually urinating, or is she just playing? Keep an eye on those things, to try to figure out whether it is a behavioral thing, or medical. Also, is she drinking more than normal? Any other symptoms, eating more than usual? I would not give her cranberry capsules, I am not sure about what is in them, and yorkies are very small, so if a capsule is for a person (avg 150#) and a yorkie is only 5-8# that could be bad for her.

How old is she? What kind of food do you feed her? I had a 10 year old Shepherd that drank gallons of water a day and of course she had to pee frequently! The vet thought she might have Cushings disease or Diabetes. So there are a lot of other things she might have besides a urinary tract infection. If you can't take her to the vet, try changing her food to see if that helps and no table scraps :)

She probably has either a urinary tract infection or a bladder infection.....take her to a Vet...take her Petsmart's Banfield Vets...some Petsmart's have Vet clinics in their stores...I think an office visit is less than $ 40......Good Luck !

No cranberry. She really needs to go to the Vet. If she gets any worse take her to the Human society and ask them to help you.
Maybe this can help

My pom pom had the same problem. Just give her some cranberry juice everyday, it'll help.

You should bring her to the vet she might be sick.
