UTI’s were ruled out, and she was eventually diagnosed, after much testing, with Urethral Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence. Is she spayed? I would first R/O a UTI. I think Urethral Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence is the most common form of female incontinence (I mean after UTI incontinence, since she is young). Did you do estrogen?

phaedra rieff Webboard User Reg: 07-15-2010 Posts: 741 Loc: bc, canada Offline	I was going to suggest this, but I personally have only seen it in adult spayed dogs, (not to say it doesn't happen in young dogs) and I see this dog is only 16 months. This can be treated, though sometime only for the short term, with Stilbestrol (synthetic estrogen). The drug doesn't always work in the long term because of increased desensitization of the receptors. But since she is a young dog, there are surgical options as well. But, yeah, rule out the other stuff first. Don't get too worried yet, but best to be informed.
