Hers even peed in the belly band, but, it was better than the floor..
If you look again, she said medication is causing the increased urination so something is causing it...not just the dog getting older. If my dog were to ever start to urinate more frequently I would never just assume it's because she's old. I'd rule out any other medical issues first before I just assumed urinary incontinance. And in this case something was causing it - medication
