Is spaying my female dog linked to incontinence? What causes it?

Question

I want to spay Elaeira and my vet said when she reaches 1 year old. I am reading about incontinence what causes it? Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | spayed | 2 months and 24 days old | 6 lbs

Older spayed bitches sometimes have incontinence as they age. There is a product called Proin which is very helpful with this. You should not let worries about possible incontinence later deter you from having Elaeira sapyed. Unspayed bitches have a higher risk of breast cancer, so there are problems leaving her intact, too.
