Sadly, this situation is
not uncommon in older dogs. Weaker kidneys, hormonal
deficiencies and other age-related problems all can
reduce a pet's ability to "hold it" like she once did.
You should be patient and understanding, and also to
seek the advice of a veterinarian. The dog's sudden
incontinence can be sign of a medical condition like
diabetes or kidney failure, which can be controlled
better if it is diagnosed early.
You should consider
putting canine diapers on the pet, particularly for
those times when she is left alone in the house for
extended periods. Another alternative is to place
absorbent pads in the house, and train the pet to
relieve herself in this area. Since it will be easier
for the pet to get to this area, rather than wait to
"go" outside, she may have fewer accidents.
The products Pet Supplies “Plus” carries in this area
include the Simple Solution
Disposable Diapers, Stay at Home Pads, and Diaper
Garment Pads, also Four Paws Wee-Wee Pads.
