Because she knows she can control you. Be the alpha. My dog has the same issues as yours (on proin twice a day) and is the same age. When I catch her gulping water I tell her to stop and go lie down on her pillow and she does. Stop letting your dog control you.

Estradiol is another incontinence medication.

Cushing's disease? There's medication that helps, no cure....

Has there been any discussion about hyperadrenocorticism? Also known as Cushing's Disease. It's when their body is overproducing steroids and can come from their Adrenal glands or can be Pituitary based.
This is what my nearly 15 year old Morkie likely has. She started exhibiting some of the same symptoms except that she will go to training pad at night to pee. The vet ruled pretty much everything out except Cushings but the test to confirm required an overnight stay or two and I didn't want to put her through that especially since the prognosis is not good for a 15 year old dog. We are treating the symptoms and she has been doing fine so far.

Yes…they checked her for Cushings and that was negative also

You dog has diabetes.

My dog constantly drank water, at 14 he started showing signs of not holding food down. Had him tested and his panel showed he had end stage kidney failure. Always wondered if him constantly drinking water was linked to his kidney slowing failing. I miss my dog. We don't deserve them.
Have a full blood panel done.

Went through same thing recently with wife’s collie. Diapers helped and then bought a dog gate for him while we’re gonna during the day, and a big washable waterproof dog mat for the floor underneath.

if your normal vet has indeed ruled out everything else, and that's a lot of things (kidney failure, hormonal disease like crushing's, diabetes, neoplasia related changes) then it could be a psychogenic water drinking.
pretty rare, but you could discuss it with your primary vet. what's the treatment? stop giving the dog water. sometimes things like prozac can help.

My mom just had her dog fixed and it started being incontinent. May be an estrogen defencency.

Sounds almost identical to what our boxer went through the last few months she was alive. She would even try to go drink from one of the toilets after we tried limiting her water. She had almost no bladder control and would go on herself even laying in her bed not even asleep. Turns out she had a brain tumor and we had to put her down not too long after because she stopped eating all together. I’m saying this not to depress you, but that was our experience and something you may want to look into getting a test for. She was 10 years old.

the dog has a year maybe 2 to live.. at most. its an old dog.

Cushing's?

Not really sure what board to ask this but here we….Our Havanese is 13 years old and healthy. This 9 lb dog has an infatuation with drinking water. Like will drink 10 times her body weight in ounces if we let her. Always thirsty. Vet ran every test imaginable and all negative. Tested her for Diabetes Mellitus and Insipidus. We have her on Proin twice a day but it’s not working. We even started limiting her water intake but she will bother the shite out of you until you give her more!! She is paper trained and does well but while sleeping, she will just urinate all over herself or the bed and not even know she’s doing it. She will even do it while sleeping in her own doggie bed. Anyone dealt with this before? Any condition that my vet might be missing?
Definitely not trying to scare you with this but please read this.
My vet also thought my dog was incontinence. Ran every test, nothing. We got referred to a specialist vet, ran all the tests, nothing. 2 months later we come back for a camera scope and they ran the same test as before. They found a tumor in her urinary tract and she died 4 months later. She had TCC cancer. I hope your dog doesnt have this as it’s horrible.
The vets can run a quick test with urine for TCC but it’s a specific test that only looks for TCC. Regular urine tests don’t look for TCC.
The reusable diapers at Petco are nice though and will be more comfortable for your dog than the disposable ones.

What other symptoms was your dog showing? Crazy thing is that she has energy like a puppy, has a great appetite, and is just very happy. In fact, she doesn’t act 13 years old. We call her Benjamin Button because it’s like she acts like she 2!!
