Cushing syndrome and incontinent

Hello I just joined not sure what I'm doing. If possible need help with my boy he's called Rocky n is 15yrs border terrier who suffers Cushing syndrome so on tabs vetoryl. Problem is he is piddling when he wants n were he wants can anyone advise why?

Sounds like it could possibly be a side effect of the Vetoryl. Why don't you ask your vet?

Hi and welcome. Rocky is an old lad and many older dogs do start peeing more frequently and unfortunately inside. As has already been mentioned it could be a side effect of the meds he is on. If it has suddenly come on, ask the vet to check him for a UTI (urinary tract infection) which could be cleared up with antibiotics. I had a 15yrs old bitch and she suffered from 'dementia' in the last few years and she would sometimes pee inside. We need extra patience with older dogs! Good luck and I hope you can sort it out.

Not sure about the meds but Anoushka had trouble holding her bladder when she got older (she was only 11) maybe try an extra trip outside in the night and during the day?

Thank you for you'r suggestions I will make appt with his docs and will let you all know. Im getting concerned as he now started on my bed just stands there n wets n also if I leave him at parents door wide open but he will do it in kitchen. Yesterday he started on bed got him down n he wet from front door to kitchen door. Oh dear.

Sounds like he's gotten inconcontinent maybe, if he couldn't get down from the bed maybe? is there a step out to the garden? just wondering if he's feeling a little stiff too and can't manage any steps etc?

Yeah I thought maybe incontinent but he now wetting in his own house through the day just everyone elses. Think it more lazy or thinks I'm gonna leave him so if he wets I will take him with me. Anyway take him docs on Tuesday hopefully no more then.fingers crossed.

Sorry but i thought cushings caused them to urinate more ? maybe the meds aren't at the right level to help yet ? Hope you get this sorted x

Hi Eve, If you look at 'Cushings Disease in Dogs' on the web, you'll find that excessive urination is a common symptom. I'd check all of you dog's symptoms with your vet and ask what can be done. Good luck and keep us informed.

Could well be a UTI. A dog I used to look after with cushings frequently contracted UTI's. Vet visit necessary I would think.
