My Labrador is constantly dripping small amounts of urine. Why?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Female | spayed | 1 year and 11 months old | 55 lbs

My 2 year old, female Labrador is leaking urine. It's only a small amount but seems to be a fairly constant and very slowly drip. She doesn't seem to be in pain and is calm. She ate her food this morning and has played fetch for a short time as well. Last night we took her to a friends house and she ran off briefly. We found her by the river and she had paddled ( she wasn't completely wet so hadn't swam). She slept in the laundry not in the house as usual. Wondering if stress can do this?

Poor Shiloh! This urine leaking can be a sign of a UTI or bladder stones, so I would have her seen by a vet for it. Stress shouldn't be a cause of these symptoms. Have her seen by a vet tomorrow, and the vet can perform a physical exam, blood test, and urinalysis on her. Should she have a UTI or bladder stones, the vet can discuss treatment options with you. Good luck, I Hope this helps!
