Dog wets bed nightly, vet checked. Can human sanitary pads help?

Question

Vivi wets the bed in her sleep pretty much every night. I've had her checked out by a vet, gotten blood work done, but everything appears to be normal. The vet gave her tolterodone 4mg twice a day, which seemed to work for a few days at a time but the bed is wet more times than it is dry. She has an enlarged heart and arrhythmia as well. Is there anything I can do for this? Also, we don't get dog diapers or diaper pads easily here. Can I use normal unscented sanitary pads with a dog panty?

Yes, you can use an unscented sanitary pad in a doggie diaper. You may ask your veterinarian if changing medications may help to urine leakage. There are a couple products (incurin and Proin) that tend to work well but with the heart enlargement and arrhythmia, your vet will need to decide if these medications are worthwhile. You may also look for a water proof cover to keep over the bed to at least decrease the mess. Make sure to have Vivi's urine checked regularly for bladder infections because she is more prone to them. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
