Is incontinence in young female dogs possible?

Hi Jay & Züri,

I wouldn’t quite rule out incontinence yet. There are different mechanisms to treat it and the episodes you describe sound like incontinence is possible. I would suspect a urinalysis has already been done to rule out infection and crystals. Revisit your vet for a re-check and ask about a drug called phenylpropanolamine for dogs.

Best of luck.
