Why is my senior dog leaking urine, in pain, and disoriented?

Question

My dog is roughly 12 yrs old. She is a shepard hound husky mix. She is having really bad smelling urine leakage and "accidents" along with signs of being in pain as well as balance issues along with signs of severe disorentation. Only rarely does she seem ok. All these symptoms hit her at the same time. Is it old age or possibly sumthing else? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 65 lbs

Old age is not a disease, so the symptoms Taboo is showing are indications of medical problems. The urine leakage and smell could be due to a UTI, bladder stones, or spay incontinence. The signs of being in pain could be due to arthritis. The balance issues and disorientation could be due to an ear infection or something more serious such as a brain tumor. She needs to see a vet as soon as possible for her myriad of problems. The vet can diagnose what is causing them, and can discuss treatment options with you. Please take her into a vet tomorrow. Best of luck.
