Our dog has become incontinent and has ruined an area rug, carpet in one of the bedrooms, and flooring in the dining room over the last two months.

I can't take this anymore and am considering having her put to sleep today. We saved her from destruction at the pound 4 years ago. She had arthritis so bad that she could hardly walk and she yelped when you touched her. We put her on glucosamine, an expensive diet, and lots of exercise. She got to the point where she was running at the park. But she has slowed down again and is becoming sensitive in her hindquarters. Now with the incontinence, I just want her to "go" with dignity and having led a decent life in her last 4 years.

Sounds like part of her system is shutting down. She might have stones. I'd take her to the vet. - lileve Nov 27, 08:52
Dogs can be put on imodium. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 27, 07:30 2
- Isn't that for bowel problems? Our dog has bladder issues. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 27, 08:00
- also Bismuth (Pepto) can be bought at the drug store and given to them. Rice in the diet helps. cook with some broth for flavour (and protein?) -- nm - turZorken Nov 27, 07:39
That's always a hard choice to make. If she is hurting though it's a humane decision to make. - Redmond, Go Ducks!! Nov 27, 07:21 6
- In her present condition, she can't be "rehomed" and she's destroying ours. It's time. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 27, 07:25 2
  - Ugh that sucks. I feel for you. -- nm - Shaun Nov 27, 07:30
  - so sorry, it's a hard decision, but i'm sure if you feel it's time that it is. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 27, 07:29
- By the way your post gave me a Berymander for Depends. -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks!! Nov 27, 07:22 2
