Female lab losing bladder control

I have an 11 month old female black lab that we recently had spade in Feb. Yesterday I noticed 3 different times where she had sat down and left a puddle. One was in the house and she has never had an accident in the house. I just noticed it yesterday and nothing today other than on her walk tonight, she stopped and peed on the road, which is unusual for her.

The kids and I have been outside playing with her all weekend so maybe she was more tired than normal. Also she is drinking more water lately but it was much warmer yesterday also. She isn't licking herself down there so I don't think its an infection. Is this normal?

She's most likely lost muscle tone with her bladder muscle due to the lack of estrogen in her body which then causes the leaking. Take her to the vet and have her checked. They will likely prescribe estrogen replacement pills to give her enough muscle tone to stop the tinkling.

I would almost bet 100% that's what going on. We did it for our brittany and this has worked for the last 6 years. Not too bad either. 2 pills / week and only like $50/year for the pills.

The same thing happened with my lab/wire hair mix. After she was spayed she became incontinent. I give her estrogen replacement pills once every week and a half and she is fine. The name of it is Diethylstilbestrol (DES).

Has anyone else with this problem noticed any behavioral changes in their dogs from the beginning of the cycle to the end? My dog is a complete cow early on and at the end of the cycle she acts like a puppy. Could be the wire hair in her...could be that she's a complete knucklehead.

It seems weird, but I can always tell when its pee pill day based on her behavior.

Please keep us updated with what caused this and what your resolution was. Very interested. Thanks

The good news is that she hasn't done it since I posted. Not sure what the cause was. We did call the vet and they told us that we could bring in a urine sample, which we ended up not doing.

If it happens again, we will bring in the urine sample.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
