Dog all of a sudden urinating in house, why?

Our dog is about 7yrs old and recently went to the vet for a minor procedure on his nails. He was not sedated, only given Ace to calm his nerves.

Since then, he has been having accidents every night.

I've noticed his water bowl is empty when I wake up in the morning, and now just today, when I went to take him out, then brought him in, he drank almost a half a bowl of water.

He is healthy and we are not really understanding what is going on all of a sudden. He has never done this before.

Thank you for your answers in advance.

Update:

He was just at the vet, a week and half ago. I will call today and make another appointment.

Update 2:

He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. No UTI

    It could be some side effect of what was given to him or some bladder problems. I would suggest that you take him to the vet so that accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment can be given.

    You have children they are well for ages then get measles or chicken pox the same applies to your pet, he is obviously ill perhaps with a simple urine infection then again he could have a kidney disease and be in pain. You take your children to the Dr's I hope so why not take the poor dog to the vet BTW using a syringe take a sample of the wee to give to the vet.. Put newspapers down until the dog is well again.

    Excessive drinking and change in habits of a dog should always be investigated by a vet.
