Hi 1 of my girls keeps on going to pee no blood not in pain, but keeps wanting to go all day and night.
Is there anything I can give her to stop her from going to wee all the time, she eats and drinks okay.

Vet trip to check for a UTI.  The symptoms aren't always obvious - just needing to go a lot is enough.  Also, if no UTI is present, hypothyroidism can mimic one.  My old lab had that - symptoms of UTIs for months but nothing showing on any tests until I spotted the low thyroid (vet had ignored it because it was still in range).  Very mild but enough to cause problems.

Diabetes can also cause this so worth getting her checked out.

Bladder stones can cause the same problem too - and can be fatal. Nearly lost one of mine to these so I would definitely get your dog seen by a vet. Does she do a full wee each time or tiny amounts? Mine gave no hint he was in pain but it was the frequency of needing to go that made me take him to the vet with another dog who was going for his boosters, just as a precaution. I am so glad I did as he was admitted straight away and had emergency surgery within half an hour of me arriving at the practice.

I agree with the others.  Not knowing what is causing the problem, you really need a vet diagnosis.  Like Harley says, potential to be life threatening, you can't take the risk.

Indeed, Bladder Stones, but these are less likely to cause a blockage UNTIL they become large, than with the male who has a bone in his penis and will block up with only a small /several small stones.   She needs to be checked, nevertheless - collect some of her urine, fresh, and take it with her, to your vet.   Sooner rather than later too because even with a UTI, the infection can pull her down generally.   And having had cystitis, IT HURTS!

Hi all took my girl to vets this morning her urine is clear, vet took a scan of her bladder which was normal.
He gave her abs just in case a weeks worth. Taking her back on Friday for check up.

Monitor how much water she is drinking during the day - polydipsia is a condition that means the dog drinks more water then they need, leading yo polyuria (excessive urination). Get her checked out at the vet.
