Twice an hour is a lot of urination. I would be concern about other physical problems if she is truly urinating that often - ectopic ureters, stricture, etc.

In the meantime, during waking hours, I would go ahead and take her out that often. The more she is successful, which you have to ensure, the better she will be.

whe she went in for spaying last monday I discussed the problem with the vet and asked her to keep it in mind while doing surgery. i suppose she didn't find any underlying cause. I will ask again in depth when stitches are removed. is there a test for checking the issues you mentioned?

I would discuss with the vet whether or not this is starting to sounds more like a medical problem or training issue. It can be quite difficult to tell. The first step would be some bloodwork and abdominal radiographs to ensure liver and kidney function is good and there are no stones that can be seen on x-ray. Depending on the findings and your discussion with the vet, an abdominal ultrasound and perhaps a dye study would be the next steps. I would recommend you see an internal medicine specialist for those if it came to that.

I'm not saying it for sure is a medical issue, but urinating every 30 minutes all day long is a lot...
