My house-trained dog is peeing inside after Temaril-P. Is this normal?

Question

My dog was prescribed temaril-p and she has peed in the house a few times since her 2nd dose. Is this normal? She is 9 years old and house trained and never has any issues. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Yes, this is a common side effect of this medication. Temaril-P contains prednisolone, which is a steroid - this is very effective at relieving allergy-related itching as well as a variety of other conditions, but it often causes increased thirst and urination as a side effect. In some dogs, this can be severe enough to cause urinary accidents in the house. This isn't dangerous at all, but can definitely be annoying for dog owners! I would recommend calling your veterinarian in the morning to let them know that Marley is having this problem. He/she may recommend reducing her dose to decrease the chance of further accidents.
