puppy bladder control

Question
Hi my Jack Russel puppy is almost six months old. For some reason from this morning it seems he has no bladder control what so ever. He will be lying on my lap and just urinate. He is also donging this a lot. It happened 3 times within half an hours time. His genitals have not "come down yet and I was wondering if this might be a cause or is there something else wrong?

Answer
Has he been house broken? Puppies need to be walked very frequently for both relief and teaching him that outside is where he is supposed to go. With the lack of other info I cannot say if there is something wrong with the dog internally but you can have a vet to some testing on kidneys and so on. If your pup drinks a lot of water it may have something to do with kidneys but again, you didnt provide too much info on whether he's drinking, eating, sleeping, and if there are any other abnormalities in his lifestyle.
