What Causes Dog Incontinence Due to Excessive Urine Production?

This condition may at first seem like incontinence but on further observation it is normally caused by a faster ability to produce urine, then the bladder will become fuller over a shorter period of time which in turn means the dog will then need to urinate more frequently.

Many dog owners often see this as bad behavior when the dog urinates indoors over night, but it may just be that the dog had nowhere to go overnight and could not wait as long as other dogs would have been able to. To ensure no wrong punishment for the dog or risking the dog being more disobedient, make sure they have somewhere to pee at night before making assumptions.

Often the cause for this is also due to another condition making the urine produces faster which will need to be cured first before the symptoms return to normal.

What Your Vet May Say or Do

As this condition is mostly due to another underlying illness, the appropriate steps for the vet are to look further in the suspected fields and determine the increase in urine production via tests.

These tests will be able to show the vet that incontinence is not the case and that the diagnosis for that should be avoided until further proof is found.
