Dog allergy/incontenance problem?

My dog takes meds for incontenance, DES. I think its a hormone to balance what was lost when she was spayed. Some females get this problem. Recently, went to the vet for a yeast infection and bacteria in her ear. She was also itchy around the neck/collar, armpits, base of tail. They gave her a shot of steriods and a pill, 2x's daily, to keep the steroid going for the itchies, now she's having accidents, where she did not before on the meds.

Ive taken her off the xtra steriod pill since her skin has cleared up from not itchinig and have her on the DES for the peeing.

Anyone have dogs on these meds or these problems? Thanks!

    Steroids will make the dog drink more and urinate more.

    One of my dogs was on steroids and she became VERY moody, ate and drank a ton, and also urinated a lot.

    If you have questions you should give the vet a call.
