Jenny, DVM · Accepted Answer

Sandy may be getting some fecal incontinent as she is older and has a harder time holding it in and controlling those sphincters. Your vet can do an neurological exam and test to see if this is the case. Also they can check for arthritis as it may hurt her to get up and go to the bathroom after sleeping
