Amber, I feel for you both. I would have your vet do a urinalysis to confirm that Cassidy does not have a bladder infection. If it just suddenly started, that sounds to me like the most likely culprit. As Judy mentioned, Jersey has bladder control issues. They started out slowly, when she was about 6 months old. First, I'd find a wet spot on a chair after she'd been napping there. Then one or two times at night while sleeping. Always on days when she'd been to the park, at day care or just out and about a lot, so she was super tired. I didn't know for sure if it was urine, because it didn't have a strong smell. I didn't know if it was drool or if she'd just been licking at the bed, etc. Then one day she was napping on the couch and the urine was just running out of her. We took her to the vet, he ran some tests and determined that she had bladder control issues related to her spay. Once they're spayed, they stop producing hormones needed for bladder control. And, if they are young and haven't had their first heat, the bladder walls may not have fully strengthened. Like humans, the dogs bladder and uterus are right next to each other and share a muscle wall. Long story, I know. But the solution was simple. Jersey is on a drug called Phenylpropanolamine (PPA). She gets 12.5 mg 2x per day and we have no problems anymore. Judy used a product called Leaks No More with Maggie and had great success on it. It's a natural remedy instead of a pharmaceutical. I hope this helped you.
