Abstract
Canine urinary incontinence is a common presentation in small animal practice. The care required by the owners at home should not be underestimated, as a number of these dogs present with a request for euthanasia. Many of the causes of incontinence are treatable; it is therefore the role of the veterinary surgeon to perform a thorough investigation in order to obtain a diagnosis and instigate appropriate therapy. This article outlines the initial approach to an incontinent dog and discusses the specific diagnostics and treatment options available.
