[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  It's not o.k. to euthanize her over this!  Try doggie diapers, try putting her in a roomy crate or gated off area in your home when you can't watch her.

I have an 8 year old dog who sometimes leaks urine when she is sleeping.  She sleeps with a towel or a pee pad under her butt on our bed in between us.  We love her so much it has never even dawned on me to euthanize her over something like this.  Her quality of life is excellent in spite of her little problem.  8 is not old!  Please contact a rescue group if you have seriously given up on keeping her.

[/quote]You let a dog with a urination problem sleep in your bed with you at nights? [/quote]

She sleeps on washable blankets with a pee pad underneath.  She doesn't pee our bed nor does she pee all the time.  It's quite manageable.[/quote]

Then you have a completely different situation from the OP whose dog is not having “accidents,” she is leaking pee ALL THE TIME.  OP has specifically said this multiple times.

If I had a dog who could not manage to stop peeing I would assume that the smell, the discomfort of constantly trying to stop peeing, and the discomfort of constantly being wet (esp if it’s causing actual sores!) are all huge quality of life issues.  I agree that I would try another vet and ask about anything that might possibly help, but I would absolutely put down a dog who needed to be isolated and dirty all the time.  That poor puppy must be miserable![/quote]

Yes, from the little bit of information that Op has given, this sounds like a fairly recent medical condition that needs treatment.  It sounds as though the vet has already tried a couple of meds and those haven't worked.  Next step would be an ultrasound of her dog's bladder to see if there are bladder stones. It's quite possible that the vet is heading in that direction and just ruling out causes.

My dog's issues are likely hormone related due to spay.  There are pros and cons to the meds that would be prescribed to treat it. At this point, the cons of the meds outweigh the pros.  We are more than happy to provide her with comfy bedding so that she is not uncomfortable.

OP here,  we tried Prion, gave her seizures , just another thing to deal with, very scary.   on estrogen and anti seizure meds now,  NOTHING WORKS>. ITS GROSS
