Hi

Is this normal, she had just been for a long walk and had a couple of poops and lots of wees (she just finished her first season), she was flat out asleep on the couch next to me and I said the usual do you want to go for pee pee, nothing at all, so sorted myself for bed picked her up to take her outside and she was wet (not drenched! Thank god!!!) I dont know if me saying it to her whilst she was asleep made her do it or what :eek:

So I had to strip the couch put the covers in the wash etc etc.....

She is 9 months old!

thanks

I think the hormones in a female dog can play a part in regards to incontinence so the fact that she's just had a season may be related here.
However, I've found that this guide suggests polyuria (an excessive amount of urination) can be linked to pyometra, and a b1tch can be more susceptible to pyometra after a season because of the changes to the womb so I think I would be getting her to the vet sharpish to have it ruled out, as pyometra can be fatal (and a closed pyometra can have few symptoms)

Might also be worth ruling out a bladder infection, if she's been peeing a lot. The vet can test for this with a simple dip test I believe so a straightforward thing they can rule out. Just remember to mention to them that she's only just stopped bleeding, because a dog can remain fertile for quite a while after the visible symptoms of a season (i.e. bleeding and a swollen vulva) end, so they may wish to have you wait in the car and enter through a side door rather than reception if there's other dogs present.
