| Accidents after Spay? Is it common for potty/pee accidents to increase after getting spayed? I got my lil girl spayed on Monday (6 days ago) and ive noticed an increase in the amount of accidents around the house that past 3-4 days. Granted, she wasnt completely trained before (she'd have accident free days and then maybe a day with one accident at most but we were close to 100%). Is she acting out because of her spay? She doesnt seem to be in pain or anything and is back to her normal self. Could it be because for the last 6 days we havent gone on a proper walk? Ive just been taking her in the backyard to avoid her jumping up and going crazy when seeing other dogs/people. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! ~V

| I'll ask when we go back tomorrow. However, the number or times she "goes" hasn't changed, just the place (inside now vs outside)

| Unfortunately, early spay can increase the chances of urinary incontinence and it is common in spayed female dogs, which can occur soon after spay surgery or after a delay of up to several years. Hopefully, this is just a temporary issue but I have read from others that their females did start having problems with incontinence after having them spayed. |

| but shes already 6 months and was advised it was the appropriate time (before her first heat)... :-/ I will definitely ask about a UTI though to be on the safe side even though the frequency has not increased . is there a test they run for UTIs? thanks!

| She's probably just feeling uncomfortable & a bit irritated down below & mistakes the sensation for needing to wee. It's very soon after her op & she must still be sore. The bitches of mine that were spayed never suffered from incontinence, they were fine after they'd healed & had stitches out. |

| I say it's discomfort. We still gave teddy meds the first few days mainly at night to help him out and if he was too hyper we worries so we could give him one.

| Urinary incontience is often a side effect of the spay. It can be temperory or permanent. Unfortunately vet forget to tell owners about this |
