Steroids causing incontinence?

[stonecircle]

My 10.5 year old Labrador started a course of steroids on Friday. I noticed a couple of wet patches on the floor yesterday but a lot more today. The fur around her bottom is constantly wet and I can sometimes see drips falling from her bottom.

It's just small amounts - she's not doing a wee indoors. It's just like she's developed a small leak.

I presume - hope - it's the steroids, but wonder if this could be something else? Does anyone have any experience of this? Obviously we'll be seeing the vet tomorrow.

THey shouldn't cause incontinence per se but they do increase thirst so she may we'll be drinking more and unless she has increased opportunities to toilet, be struggling to hold it it. Frequent garden trips will help

She has been drinking more which I was expecting. The back door has been open all day (and still is). She doesn't like to do stuff in her own garden - though would in an emergency if she was desperate.

But she came back from a walk this afternoon where she'd done a couple of wees, and shortly afterwards I could see drips. She went for another walk about 8pm and has been dripping ever since.

She's also just started taking Tramadol - do you think they could be causing it?
