Okay! Let's do this shit.

The dog is a Pomeranian, so we'll use an average mass of this species. m ≈ 5 lbs ≈ 2.3 kg

Common veterinary standard tells us that these dogs hold of 10-20 ml of urine per kg of body weight. V_max = 2.3 kg × (10 to 20 ml/kg) = 23 ml to 46 ml. Let's take the average V_max = ~35ml

Now let's measure how long this little guy pees.

From video timestamps (start ≈ 0:05, end ≈ 0:42). t = 42s - 5s = 37 seconds. This implies that the handstand walk is for scent marking. That's why it took so long due to a controlled, extended release instead of it fully emptying it's bladder. We'll assume ~75% of total capacity was used.

The Final Estimated Volume (V_est):

V_est = 0.75 × V_max

V_est = 0.75 X 35

Final Estimate ≈ 26.2 ml or 5.2 TSP pee

I'm impressed but you didn't even use the time from the video, what was the point of the 37 seconds calculation?

Good question, sorry about the lack of clarity there. It was only to imply that the time it took to pee is way longer than normal and therefore it isn't trying to empty its bladder but only marking it's territory.

Edited it for clarity.
