Dog wets the bed

[Annalyse]

I'm certain the vet will also check for a UTI. Our one dog - diagnosed diabetes - frequently scratches at teh dor to be let out, but sometimes dribbles or leaks with no seeming awareness he is doing so. Our other dog, two UTIs past 12 months, would leave a huge puddle, no warning at all, then behave as if nothing happened.

Thank you. Hopefully we can set something up soon.

Both diabetes and kidney failure can cause urinary incontinence and excessive urination. To keep urine from getting on everything you can get some doggie diapers. What you want are called male wraps and they go around the dog's middle to catch the pee. You can get either disposable wraps or washable wraps. The disposable ones are made of the same stuff baby diapers are made of. The washable ones have a pocket for a sanitary napkin to fit inside. I have used both and they worked very well.

I'm assuming this dog is neutered?

Yes, belly bands.

he licks a lot but idk how he could lick that much for it to go through the layers of blankets.

How many layers of blankets and how thick are they? My dog also licks and licks and the spot can be large and go through two layers of sheets.

Okay, then I guess it's likely urine. It is strange that it doesn't smell like it. Does he drink a lot of water and/or have a pot belly?

Might want to ask the vet about a Proin prescription, if other causes like a UTI aren't the cause. I find that it helps cut back dribbling and leakage in older dogs.

They have meds for what ails your pup.
