My dog has recently been dripping pee in her sleep. She is a 9 year pitbull. Her pee is fine and has no bad scent. Her poop is fine too. Should I be worried about this ? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 9 years and 4 months old | 80 lbs

Sounds like Dynasty has urinary incontinence. You don't need to be worried but Dynasty does need to be seen by a vet. Urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections go hand in hand. There is also treatment available for incontinence to control it so you may want to get her started on that. ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/urethral-incontinence-in-dogs )
