incontinence in dogs

[Clodagh]

I’d pts. It’s not going to have a happy ending, you are fed up (completely understandable) with clearing up. She’s probably upset about making a mess.
I’d spoil her rotten this weekend and let her go early next week. Only MO but it might feel like when we have cystitis and want to wee all the time? That’s horrible. And why is it causing incontinence? Either it’s big enough to inhibit holding on or big enough there’s little room for urine? That is entirely a lay person POV.

This is what I'm worried about clodagh, I get what I assume is an irritable bladder occasionally and it's not nice. Plus she's not eating as much now, still mad for any treats but not eating all her food at once.
But she's still really cheerful in herself.
I'll speak to the vet on Tuesday, and see what he says.

Just an update, I did speak to the vet that Tuesday, we tried metacam and propalin but sadly she deteriorated rapidly. We had her put to sleep this morning, of course I'm devestated, but she had a good life. The vet (and I) think there was something else going on as she was having problems with her bowels too.

I'm sorry for your loss xx

My 14yr old started weeing herself in her sleep, horrified her as she was a very clean dog. In her case it turned out to be lymphoma sadly. Lost her many years ago now.

Thank you @PinkvbPink and @Identityincrisis, the house feels very empty.

I’m sure most of us can sympathise, losing them is heartbreaking. If you need to offload or just put down some memories to remember her by, we’re here to listen
