My dog pees in sleep with high enzymes. Is low-fat diet enough?

Question

Hello i went to the vet with my dog cause of her bed wedding problems. She has wet the bed now 2 times on her sleep. They did blood and urine analysis and ultrasound. Urin and ultrasound came out clear but she had lipose 6000 and amylase 2500. The vet really didnt know what was the problem with her so she only told me to give her low-fat diet food for 2 weeks and then come back and do the tests again. My question is cause the tests cost is high is this the right approach. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 5 years and 11 months old | 94 lbs

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Urinating in her bed could be behavioral, or could be medical. An increase in Amylase and Lipase can imply that the pancreas is inflamed, and your vet recommending a low-fat diet and recheck in 2 weeks is the right recommendation. As long as Lada is still eating, and isn't painful, then a simple pancreatitis will resolve with a low-fat diet alone. No antibiotics are required and are NOT recommended, and pain medications are only given if required. I would continue with this recommendation, and deal with this possible pancreatitis first, and if Lada is still wetting the bed (as she might be doing this related to the pancreatitis, so best to clear this up first), then you can discuss medications to help tone the urethral sphincter. But I do recommend treating the pancreatitis first. Best of luck with Lada! I hope she feels better soon.
