If you r vet suspects this is behavioral, you may try taking her for a walk or whatever activity will get her to urinate more just before bed. You can also pick up the water bowel two hours before bed. Lastly, sometimes dogs need a refresher in house breaking and crating is the best option. I hope this helps.
