frequent urination, possibly passed stones?

Question
I have a 10 year old pug that recently started urinating very frequently and in the house even when she never did before.  We just recently moved to a place with no yard however I take her out several times a day so she can go to the bathroom, she pees at least twice sometimes more each time we go out.  When she's in the house I keep a pull up on her to stop accidents in the house.  I was changing her diaper and noticed small hard yellowish stone looking things in the diaper.  What does this mean?  She doesn't seem to be in any pain, she is eating and drinking regularly...

Answer
She needs to be taken to a vet immediately to have her urine checked. She either has a Urinary tract infection, crystals or stones. There is really no way for me to tell without having her urine tested.

They do not act like they are in pain with a UTI but it is VERY painful.

Any change in behavior always needs to be looked at by a veterinarian.

Thanks and Good luck.
