Peeing constantly and drinking lots

[LEYNA]

I know I know he pees because he drinks LOL!

But seriously Sultan our little 8 week old boy wants to drink water constantly, he would rather drink a full bowl of water than eat any food wich he drinks ALOT! and eats very little, it takes alot of enticing to get him to eat.

While he is doing better health wise, he has gained some weight and is overall looking much better I am still concerned.

He will drink as much water as he can then he constantly is peeing because of it.

I take him out every half hour, sometimes more, as soon as he wakes from a nap, while he is active playing(cuz that seems to make him have to go more often also) and just as much potty trips as possible.

He pees outside two sometimes three times on each trip, he is peeing too, I do watch LOL! Then I can bring him back in the house and not even five minutes later he pees in the house!!

This has been pretty much nonstop since I got him and I am beginning to think something is up.

He does go to the vet today at 5 for his vaccinations and checkup and I am going to mention it to the vet but I wanted to know if anyone had similar issues and any questions I should ask the vet regading this?

Any ideas? I realize 8 week old pups do pee alot, I am not new to puppyworld but this little guy just seems quite extreme to me.

Could be an underlying issue...what did your vet say?

Hopefully the vet ruled out any medical issue!
In my experience and working with a lot of puppies (not all Boxers), puppies pee a lot. Boxer puppies seem to drink more than others hence more urine production. I liken it to the fact that they are so overly physical. Moving all the time.
Half of what they drink doesn't end up in their mouths either!
They have such tiny bladders it can't stay in there for very long.
Females tend to "empty" on one squat while males tend to pee here and there and not all at one "sitting".
Their muscles are not fully developed. They just sometimes can't empty all at once.
