JBell Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have a 5 year old female Border Collie. For the past year, every 3 months, give or take a couple of days, she has had an episode of incontinence or some sort of leakage. I am at a loss. My vet put her on a cranberry supplement, but she still has the episode every 3 months. Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraV Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 My golden used to do this. Every once in awhile, she would pee as she slept. It started when she was 3 or 4. She ended up just growing out of it. Keep watch on her water intake and if you take her out 4 times a day, bump it up to 5 even if she doesn't have to go.

D'Elle Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 There are medical conditions that can cause this; I have a friend whose dog had the same problem as yours and the vet was able to help with medication. Sorry, but I don't remember the name of the condition. I would take the dog for a second vet opinion and maybe some tests if she were mine. Best of luck.

GentleLake Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 One of the side effects of spay can be incontinence. I'll second the vet check. Proin helps a lot of dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
