My senior dog pees everywhere, does she not know she's doing it?

Question

My 16 yr. old female is urinating on the furniture and even sitting in my lap. She is trained. It’s like she doesn’t know she is doing it. I can’t afford a big vet bill, is there something I can give her to help? She doesn’t appea4 to be in pain. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 16 years and 8 months old | 9 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The urinary tract symptoms you describe could be due to a urinary tract infection, urinary stones, a tumor, among other possibilities. There is not a general over the counter medication you can give to help without knowing what is going on. I recommend that you have Coco evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further diagnostics would include abdominal imaging and lab work. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day!
