My female GSD is incontinent, despite going out 3 times a day?
she is still having the odd accident around the house. She sometimes dribbles and seems unaware that she is doing it. She is 2 and a half years old and she is spayed. Ive heard spayed females have this problem a lot. As anyone else had this problem? As i said earlier she goes out 3 times a day but still as these odd accidents.

As others mentioned, 3 times a day is probably not enough...my dogs go out at least 10 times a day. With the issues you describe (involuntary dribbles), Proin may help the dog, if it's not being caused by infection. Take a sample of urine in to the vet with you and have a urinalysis run. If it's not infection, there are a few options for medication that deal with incontinence.

How many times a day do you need to go the bathroom?!? Three times a day may be enough for another dog, but not yours. You have to work with her and take her out more often, even if just for a short bathroom break and right back in the house. Since she is so young it would be kind of unusual for her to be incontinent and need drugs. Try to let her out to pee more often and see if that takes care of the problem.

3 times a day really isn't that often. Especially for a dog who is having incontinence problems.
Talk to the vet about some possible medications that are designed to help, and let her out more often.

How is going out 3 times a day meant to help with her incontinence? Take her to the vets.

Spayed females don't "have this a lot", but it can be a medical problem, far more likely a urinary tract infection.
Take your dog to the vet to be checked out and urine sample looked at. Don't let this go on, if it is a uti, it is painful for the dog and easily cured.

nicely, no count if that's from a breeder, somebody spend fairly some funds to get her so one hundred$ is a surprisingly stable volume even however shes not spayed. i think of its super which you rather want her to have a loving domicile! as quickly as you get her spayed, she would be able to possibly stay on the vets workplace for the night after which you're able to might desire to %. her up the subsequent morning. some week later, you may take her returned to the vet so as that they might take out her stitches. Spaying your canines would not exchange the canines character a lot inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it makes her so a lot extra clam and loving through fact while woman canines are actually not spayed, they're in many situations targeted on finding a male to reproduce with. If she is spayed, she would be able to to not that and could be a extra candy and unswerving puppy. stable success! wish I helped!

Honestly I don't think 3 times a day is enough to go outside. She may need to go out a lot more then that.
Also has she been checked for a UTI or any health issues? It may be possible she could have a health issue causing this.

Three times a day is definitely not enough... you should take her out at least four or five times.
Spayed bitches really do dribble and don't realize it?

Build a fence outside and put in a dog door. Then whenever the dog needs to "go" it can go right outside even if you are not home.
