I just adopted a 2 year old female cocker spaniel who had/has an ectopic ureter problem. The shelter she was at diagnosed her with it and she had the corrective surgery done about a month ago. She lived with a foster mom for the past month while recovering. The foster mom claims she was squatting and going every 20 minutes or at the most she would hold it would be 2 hours. Most of the time she was in her crate or in the backyard but it appeared to the foster mom she would use the newspapers inside the crate. Keep in mind the foster mom had many other dogs in the house, so my fear is some leaking was gone UN-noticed on her part, whether it be in her bed or outside. She has been with me for a few days but she is continuing to wet herself, especially when sleeping. On her bed, on the couch, napping on the floor etc. They are considerably large puddles too. Maybe the size of a baseball, sometimes larger. She also leaks a considerable amount if excited. It also happens when she's awake but its much smaller amounts then when she's asleep. We will take her out to go potty but doesn't seem like she wants to go or possibly doesn't have to because it's all leaked out during sleep. I was wondering if this is because she has learned for the first two years of her life this is how going to the bathroom is and she needs to learn how to strengthen her bladder? The way a kid does when they wet the bed? Or is it most likely the surgery didn't take and she still has the ectopic ureter issue? And how long does it take to know if a ectopic ureter surgery was successful?
