Answers:
It is very common for older female dogs to have urinary incontinence.
Your vet can help with this through medications to help her and you out. Please get her seen by your vet OK.
time to see the vet
Call your vet.
She may have a medical condition that is causing her to lose bladder control. It happens in older dogs. Take her to the vet to see what they say. You may have to start using doggie diapers.
It's vet time she has a bladder control problem!
See the vet.
Yes, sounds like she has a weak bladder, you should take her to see the vet!
Aging dogs can sometimes become incontinent, or she may have a UTI.
Either way have her seen by your vet. They can treat both.
If this is all of a sudden change in her potty habits, I'd bring her in for a body function blood panel. See what's going on with her Kidneys, pancreas, and liver functions. A tell tale sign of kidney failure is the breath - smell the breath. If it ever starts smelling like ammonia, the kidneys are failing. She needs a Vet to determine what's really going on.
Either she has an UTI or Just simply due to old age cant really hold it like she used to. sometimes when females are fixed it happens as well. You best bet is to take urine samle ( it's not easy lol ) and drop it off by your vet. if he/she excluede infection then you can do other test to find out what it is. Good luck
yes i have a 13 year old dog and and she pees ever where it is said because it means that they are getting old but you should really take her to the vet because she might have a bladder problem and it could get really bad take her to the vet ASAP!!
if your vet can not give you anything and she is still doing it you will have to put a doggy diaper on her they look a little funny but they are not going to the bathroom in your house anymore!
good luck and i wish the best for your dog!!
mi female dog is having the same problem we went to the vet and got medicine but its not working so shes chained up in the uncarpeted part of our house and i think it might be time to let her go soon it depends how much u want to pay at the vet.
she needs to see her vet...it could be that she has a urinary infection and needs proper medication or it will get worse and could cause other problems which is dangerous at her age.
