I have a one-year-old spayed female who has started dribbling urine when she’s very relaxed or napping. She can also go long periods of time (overnight) without accidents as well, so it only this happens sporadically. Urine tests came back negative for bladder invention and diabeties. My veterinarian has given me one month of hormone pills to try and see if that stops the dribbling. Has anyone else gone through this? Is this common in springer spaniels? Any advice would be appreciated. I sure hope this will not be an issue for the rest of her life!

So sorry about all the mistakes. I could barely see what I was writing because I was on my phone. Bladder infection and diabetes!

My Jessica is 10 years old this year and since she got spayed as a puppy she has had to take a pill in the morning and night every day to help her stop peeing. There is a possibility that they may have nicked the bladder as they were spaying her, that’s what we thought it may be. And it could also be what you’re feeding your pup. We’ve lessened the amount of human food we used to give her and changed the type of dog food she eats and she’s been doing fine – no peeing. I haven’t been giving her the pee pills either.

I haven’t had this problem with my Springer, but had this problem with a rescue dog I had several years ago.
The hormone treatment worked wonders. She went from laying in a puddle to no problems. Since she was a rescue, she had no history, but the vet suspected it was, as Libby suggested, related to when she was spayed. Those pills kept her puddle free from 3 years old to 12 years old. If it works, I’d say keep it up. I know there are some potential complications in the long run and thus some tests required every so often in order to continue medicating, but it sure worked well for my dog.
Btw, your Springer is beautiful!
