Why is my beagle leaking clear fluid and drinking more water?

If her urine is dilute then it could be urine as it would be clear. The best thing would be to have her examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can run a urinalysis and blood-work, if necessary, to see if she has a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, endocrine disease, etc.

No, I don't think it is an emergency but she should see a vet when you can make a regular appointment. My best guess is that she has urinary incontinence. Common in spayed female dogs (especially large breeds) and there is medication that can help them if the problem becomes very frequent. A urine test would be the best place to start. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/urethral-incontinence-in-dogs

The most likely fluid in a spayed female dog would be urine. When a dog dribbles urine or leaves spots of urine on the bedding I often think about urinary tract infections. Older dogs can also develop urinary sphyncter incompetence (or a weak sphyncter), making it difficult for them to hold their bladder overnight. There are also less common causes, for instance bladder stones or endocrine diseases. Your veterinarian will likely offer to run a urinalysis, a urine culture, and maybe some bloodwork on Sassy to determine what might be causing the urine leaking. There are antibiotics we use for urinary tract infections and if it appears to be loss of bladder control there are medications to help with that as well. A visit to the vet should help you sort out the cause and hopefully get Sassy acting more like herself. I hope this was helpful!

These signs are usually related either to urinary tract infection, or to kidney problem (failure) or to urinary incontinence. A blood test and urine analysis can rule out kidney failure and urinary tract infection. Urinary incontinence usually derived from a weak urinary sphincter (quite common in old age females). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to hear that Shadow is having urinary accidents in the house. There are numerous health conditions that can cause increased drinking and urination, including urinary tract infection, kidney disease, liver disease, Cushing's disease, Addison's disease, behavioral conditions, even certain cancers. Shadow may have urinary incontinence, which is not uncommon in female dogs. I recommend having Shadow evaluated by your primary veterinarian, who may recommend blood and/or urine tests to see if she has an underlying reason for her increased drinking and urination. I hope this is helpful!

Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think Belle needs to see a veterinarian right away. She may have a very serious uterine infection called a pyometra or a very serious urinary tract infection from your description and that picture. A pyometra is life threatening and requires antibiotics and often surgery to treat so I would get Belle to a veterinarian to be examined as soon as possible.

This could be normal vulvar discharge, but sometimes mucus and cloudy urine can also be seen with a urinary tract infection. If you continue to see mucus, or if Bailey is straining to urinate, urinating more frequently or having accidents in the house I'd recommend seeing your vet for a urine check.
