Hi there! I’m really sorry to hear about your pup’s new issue with incontinence. Let's dive into what might be going on and how you can help at home.
Addison's disease affects the adrenal glands, which play a big role in regulating hormones critical for balancing water and electrolytes. This imbalance can sometimes lead to urinary incontinence. Additionally, if there's been a recent change in your dog’s medication or dosage, this too might be a factor. Stress or a urinary tract infection (UTI) might also cause or worsen the issue.
At home, keep your dog comfortable by ensuring they have frequent opportunities to go outside. You might also consider using puppy pads indoors temporarily to manage any accidents. Keeping a consistent feeding and medication schedule can also help maintain balance.
Watch out for signs that could indicate a more serious issue, such as excessive thirst, vomiting, diarrhea, or sudden weakness. If you notice any of these, it’s important to seek veterinary attention promptly.
To ensure we’re managing this condition effectively, I encourage you to book a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can work with you to further investigate the cause and advise on the best next steps for your dog's health.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
