Why is my 8-year-old pit bull leaking urine and having accidents?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The urinary tract symptoms you describe could be due to a urinary tract infection, urinary stones, a tumor, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further diagnostics would include abdominal imaging and lab work. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

Sounds like Dynasty has urinary incontinence. You don't need to be worried but Dynasty does need to be seen by a vet. Urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections go hand in hand. There is also treatment available for incontinence to control it so you may want to get her started on that. ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/urethral-incontinence-in-dogs )

He could have a urinary tract infection so he should be examined by a vet. Your vet can run a urinalysis to look for infection and other potential causes. He could also have urinary stones, prostate problem, tumor, etc. If he has an infection then he will need an antibiotic to treat.

It's possible that Frida could have an underlying issue such as a bladder infection or bladder stones. If you haven't already, additional tests such as an ultrasound of the bladder or a urinalysis may clue you into the issue. If she's spayed, she may also have some incontinence issues as the muscles around the urethra may become weakened or unable to prevent leakage. If she checks out healthy, then looking into reverting back to an earlier stage of puppy potty training, or taking her out more often to give her a chance to fully empty her bladder may help.

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!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If she is having difficulty urinating, I would recommend having her examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would recommend having her urine tested and abdominal x-rays taken. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hello. There are several medications that may help Nala with her urinary incontinence, both prescription medications available from your veterinarian ( Proin & Incurin ). Please see your vet to first rule out the possibility of this being an urinary infection, bladder stones, or other reason for the urine leaking, then you can try the medications to control her leakage.
