Hi,
I have a female dog- 6 yrs. She has been spayed. She has a habit of bed wetting. She has been trained on house breaking, and is a very clean dog otherwise. She never urinates or poops in the house.Only when she is asleep, she wets the bed, and feels awkward on her act, when she wakes up.

Well there are a couple possibilities...
One is that she's bed soiling. Picking up the water bowl in the evening a couple hours before bedtime often times corrects the problem.
The other possibility is that there is a medical issue either temporary like a bladder infection or permanent like from spaying that causes her to lack bladder control. Based on your description my best guess is that this is a medical issue. I would consult my vet first if it were my dog.

Hi All,
I had sent her urine specimen for examination, the results appear normal; however the vet feels that the problem exists as she cannot control her bowels which is a possibility at times in spayed dogs. But he has not suggested me the solution on how to stop this; hence posted it here if I could get some suggestions.
Hi-
My female, 6yrs, spayed, also leaks when sleeping. Her urine sample came back fine, so the vet put her on Proin. It is basically a lifetime deal. It works really well, and it is a daily tablet. I should research again, but at the time the vet wasn't aware of any negative side effects.

I think the body of knowledge has changed.
I've been reading up on Proin since a drug for humans containing its active ingredient was taken off the market because of phenylpropanolamine being linked to cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
I'll dig up the saved material later today (and Google will probably yield info, too).
I had a spayed Fila that developed this around the age of 3 or 4. She was put on DES (Diethylstilbestrol). If I recall, we started off on a daily dosage and tapered down to once weekly. Truthfully, I don't know how safe this is for dogs. It was found to be a teratogen to the fetus when given to pregnant women back in the 60's. However, my Fila lived to be 11 with no health problems until a stroke took her suddenly.

I had good results with my old lab Mokie using Corn Silk. When she got older she started to leak some urine. She was on rather high doses of Proin (which also worked) but I didn't want her to rely on that. When Mokie died unexpectantly, she was on 1/4 of the Proin that she had been on and had been completely dry for 2 months.
I got the capsules at Herbalremedies.com for just a few bucks.
