Question
he's been taken to the vet and they haven't said a word, and i can't figure out why my 7 year old un-nutered cocker spaniel/ corgi mix has to go out every fourty minutes and occasionaly has puss ozzing out of his penis. please help.
he has other problems too, but is not on any medication for them because they don't require medicine.
can it possibly be a urinary tract infection or possibly kidney/ or bladder stones?
i can't feel any in his abdomen and he has no cyst type bumps and no blood in his urine.

Answer
I dont know what you mean by "he's been taken to the vet and they haven't said a word".  Did you take him with this precise problem?  If he has to urinate that often there is something wrong and yes, it could be a UTI.  Have you had this checked?  

I'd like to know what "other problems" he has?  But it certainly sounds like he needs at minimum a urinalysis and if that's not the issue, then he needs to be checked for kidney/bladder stones.

Have you told your vet about this?
