Maggie Mayors is almost 9 years old.  She's a lab/hound rescue.  She recently started peeing in the house.  She hasn't dropped the uno or duece in the house since she was a puppy.  Well, there have been the occasional accidents, but now it's almost a every other day deal.  Our letting her outside and feeding habits haven't changed.  Is she just getting older and can't hold it anymore?   I've tried a lot of things for the carpet, and finally poured some bleach in the area where she urinates. 4951

My wife and I sprayed vinegar a lot on the area, but she still pisses in the same area.  She used to be like a camel, and was able to hold it for a long time.   4951

We're going to take her in, but just wondering if anyone has had these issues before?  She was potty trained quickly and hasn't had that many ooops, I crapped/**** in the house incidents.  Just seems weird she's doing this now. 4951

I would be taking her to the vet for bloodwork and a urinalysis. As dogs age they can lose control of some of their functions just as people can. It could be aging or another problem, either way a vet visit should be in order just to see where all her levels are at since she is a senior. 4951

@mm4731:
 
Not all but incontinence can happen in females that were spayed very young. In 6 years of dog ownership and fostering spayed females, I've never personally had an incontinent dog. 4951

If she ever had pups then with combination of her age and damage from her pregnancy (s) she may just have a weakening bladder. Obviously you are doing the right thong taking her to the vet. Keep us posted Emoticon 4951

@xjamiex: In vet terms, have you heard of this before, and is there meds that will help her?

I'm going to take her in Monday.  She's going hunting with me tomorrow, and can **** anywhere she wants at the deer stand. 4951

@JJ  I find it interesting that my lab/beagle mix (R.I.P) did the same thing around 9-10 years of age.  No medical cause, just age. Maybe it's a breed thing that they have with a weakening bladder?? We ended up having to have him spend a lot of time outside and could only walk around the house after peeing and while supervised. 4951

@JJ: There are meds, holistic options, and diet changes/supplements one can try to help with an incontinent dog. Usually an incontinent dog will leak urine. If your dog isn't leaking and is actually just urinating a lot in the house and it is obviously not a normal behavior, I would definitely get her checked out because it could be something totally different than incontinence. The vet will probably want to do a urinalysis.

@xjamiex: Thanks, Jamie.  On a side note, I've been listening to a lot of Chevelle.  They've got a lot of dope **** out there.
