I am concerned, I just noticed that when my dog gets up from sleeping she leaves a wet spot that appears that comes from her behind area. Her fur is wet under her tail area and hind legs?

My dog is 8 yrs old. I don't believe it is urine. And, there is no odor. It just started, I at first thought it was from her licking herself, but noticed it again tonight and am now concerned. She acts perfectly healthy. No problems with her bowls or with her urine.

Is your dog a spayed female? My dog is a 4-yr. old spayed female who began having this problem earlier this year. She would leak urine whenever she relaxed, but NEVER on purpose. It would just dribble out. The vet recommened we try hormone therapy...weird, I know! But the hormones are cheap, 2 pills a week and my dog has not leaked urine since!!!! Prior to the hormones, the vet also checked for a bladder infection, but it was fine. I see you don't believe it is urine, but really, I do believe it is. My dog leaked very clear urine that did not stink either. There were no other potty issues ever. She is healthy, but removing her female parts stopped her hormone production. It doesn't happen to all spayed females, but it does happen to many. Please talk to your vet! I am telling you, I was so upset by my leaking dog, but she is 100% now. PLEASE check out this link to dog advice http://www.vet4petz.com/articles/urinary_incontinence.htm Just read it..it might sound right!

If it is anal leakage, it would have an unmistakable foul odor.
She could be a bit incontinent. If that's the case, there is medication that will help with the sphincter muscles. Bladder infection is also another possibility. I suggest taking her to your vet.
ADD:
Well you know it's not anal glands , but I do think it's urine. Whether she is leaking from a UTI or incontinence, she should be seen by your vet. (I am leaning towards incontinence)
It's common for spayed females to have this. I had a Min Pin that was incontinent. I put her on meds and it was a big help. I didn't have to constantly wash her bedding or my bedding. (she slept with me at night, so you can just imagine!) :0

Two possible problems come to mind for your puppy. Either she has anal leakage that might need to be expressed (which can be done cheaply by a vet or some groomers) or she is a bit incontinent and might be urinating a little bit every time she gets up. There are herbal remedies for this in many petstores or health food stores. One is called Leaks no more. Either way, you probably want to go see your vet. I hope everything turns out ok for you and your dog!

Is she old? Alot of older dogs suffer from bladder issues. On the flip side, dogs tend to lick their butts before falling asleep, and can soak the bed with their saliva from their cleaning efforts.

could be that some thing annoyed her eyes or could be an allergic reaction. i could wash her eyes with a heat damp wash fabric and time table an appointment for the vet to get a applicable analysis. I you're seeing any yellow-eco-friendly discharge she needs to be seen previous to later considering that that for the duration of lots of situations shows an infection.

She may have a bladder control problem (seriously). Take her to your vet for an evaluation.

I had an older husky and she did the same thing. DeeAnn is probably right, it's a hormonal thing.
