My dog had a seizure. Is leaking urine a sign of another one?

Question

Hello, my dog is an 8 year old pitbull. Two days ago he had a seizure I brought him to an emergency clinic and they couldn't find the cause of it. Today he was laying in his bed and I noticed the spot beneath him was somewhat wet. Not enough that he had urinated but it seems to be leaking out if that makes sense. I brought him outside and he didn't have to go I just want to make sure this isn't a warning sign of another seizure. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | 60 lbs

Yes, your description does make sense. It could be that this is a sign of another seizure, as dogs can lose their bladder control while having a seizure. I would monitor Chaos for now, and then take him into the vet first thing in the morning. If he's continuing to have seizures, he may need medication to prevent them, and the vet can discuss treating her. In the meantime, if Chaos seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near his mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor Chaos at all times during the seizure to ensure that he cannot hurt himself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately
