Why is my 8-year-old pit bull leaking urine and having accidents?

Question

My pit is around 8 and she can't hold her pee sometimes it's just Dripping all over or puddles. It started 1 year ago. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 60 lbs

Dribbling urine is not normal and can be a sign of urinary incontinence. Other issues such as bladder infections or muscular/nerve issues may also cause incontinence. Since your girl is a senior and is also spayed, it is possible the muscles surrounding her bladder have weakened. It is best to schedule a veterinary exam as soon as possible as well as bring in a sample of her urine to check for common issues such as infections. Your vet can then recommend treatment as needed depending on the underlying cause such as antibiotics to treat infection, or medications to increase bladder tone.
