Spaying

by Debbie
(Fernie, BC)

Just had my 7 month old Mini Aussie spayed. Immediately after the surgery she started urinating (or leaking) while sleeping. I just wonder if this is caused by the surgery and perhaps in time it will get better.

I am sure this is not Aussie specific but a general condition of female dogs.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If you get really concerned and her situation changes...ask the vet. Did you call them??

urinary incontinence in spayed females
by: Anonymous

Based on several articles that I have read, urinary incontinence is fairly common in spayed female dogs. Various studies show rates ranging from 4.0% to 20.0% for spayed females, compared to 0.3% for intact females. It is commonly called "spay incontinence". I was really disturbed to discover this. I am now trying to decide what to do with my pup. I have read many publications that recommend -for many reasons- that if a female is to be spayed, it not be done until the dog is mature. This means going through at least one heat cycle.
