Answer
Hi Veselin!  This could be one of two things...a urinary tract infection OR she could be having a heat cycle.
I would recommend a vet visit to rule out infection, as antibiotics will be needed to clear it up.
How is she acting?  Is she eating and drinking, playing normally?  If so, this probably is just her heat cycle.
Please keep me posted and I hope this has been helpful.
Give her some kisses for me!
