This took us by surprise. She was fine Monday, acting sick yesterday but still drinking and peeing, sleeping this morning which was weird bc she would normally wake up when we do, passed sometime between 7 & 9:30 am.
But she had a great little doggie life.

Is he/she on meds for this? BF’s dog started having this problem over the summer but went on a med and no more leaking.
(UTI is also a possibility, which is also easily treated.)
Sounds like she did have a great life, and thankfully little suffering at the end.
My dog doesn’t like car rides, and doesn’t like boarding at the vet (we finally got him to understand how to behave at home when we leave at age 13 - Ha!) or the exam room but likes to sit in the office behind the counter at the vet. I think for his final day I might arrange for a house call to spare him any final anxiety. It will be tough to make that call though.

No meds yet. Within the last month he has dropped a deuce while walking in the room a couple of times, and 1 urinary event yesterday. Just figured age, but it will definitely be a call to the vet before calling in the grim reaper.
BF’s dog was only leaking out of her bladder, not her anus, but whatever medication they gave her (I can ask if you’d like) has 100% solved that issue. But she was pretty much only leaking over night when she was asleep. So you might be looking at a different issue. I think it’s definitely worth getting him looked at… I assume this isn’t going to break your budget.
It’s more pleasant for everyone if he goes only where he’s supposed to.
you’re my boy, blue!

sorry for your loss.
The dog doesn’t like it when her ball is close to a pile of her poop. Understandable, so you’d think she wouldn’t drop her ball, take a few steps forward, and poop. Then she comes over to me either expecting me to pull a new ball out of thin air or go rescue her ball in the poop zone.

You expect her to play with poop instead???

My dog prefers drinking from her outside water bowl for whatever reason. Even when it’s frozen, she tries to lick at it instead of coming inside to drink. Her inside water is just inside the dog door, her outside water about 2 feet from the dog door.

…but it’s obviously colder, thus, more refreshing.

I have seen what you do to indoor bowls with water in them.
Also, well enough to post, well enough to throw the ball.

we have two water bowls, side by side. (we never changed from when we had 2 dogs after we lost the other one)
our dog now (and still then) nearly ONLY drinks LEFT water. will not drink from the right except for weird moments of confusion it seems. sometimes I rotate the bowl and she will drink from the new left (old right).
we asked and she didn’t say why

I posted after throwing the ball. The dog waited for me to take the frozen bowl inside, dump the ice, and refill with fresh water instead of coming inside to drink.
Fresh, chilled water is much more pleasant to drink, amirite @Echo ???
