Is loose bowel common in geriatric dogs with neuromyopathy?

I have an 11 1/2 year old German Shepherd Dog, neuromyopathic in the lower spine. On occasion, he has loose, uncontrollable stool, and I am wondering if this is common with this condition. I have a 2 year old GSD on the same diet, who is experiencing no similar bowel symptoms, so I am ruling out food as the cause.

it is possible. spincter tone is controlled by nerve and muscle. Call up your vet and ask just to be safe.

I dont know, but give it dry food that will make it harder.
