Why is my dog licking her private area and peeing herself at night?

Question

My pet is a 1 1/2 year old shi tzu who constantly licks her vaginal area and pees on herself when she gets too excited. I've taken her to the vet for this, i realized this all happen after she got spayed but the doctors always told me the same that "she's fine". But today at 4am my pet woke me up crying and I woke up grabbed her and she was fine but I noticed it was wet right under her and she was also wet. So she peed on herself while sleeping but it didn't look or smell like her usual pee

Hello, Licking the vaginal area excessively could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or vaginitis. A dog urinating in their sleep could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or urinary incontinence. An infection, kidney disease, or an endocrine abnormality could change the appearance or smell of her urine. Many dogs urinate when they are excited and that part is totally normal. I would recommend taking her into her veterinarian. They will likely recommend a urinalysis to start. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
