There are a number of types of urine leakage that will explored before reaching the diagnosis of passive involuntary incontinence including:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Overflow incontinence;<\/strong> when the bladder is so full that the valve mechanisms cannot prevent leakage<\/li><li><strong>Urge incontinence;<\/strong> urinary tract infection\/irritation, inflammation of the bladder, prostate or vagina, and growths can all stimulate increased frequency of urination<\/li><li><strong>Increased water intake (polydipsia);<\/strong> related to increased urination<\/li><li><strong>Anatomical abnormalities;<\/strong> abnormal development of the urinary tract can predispose a dog to urine leakage, the most common form of which is incorrect placement of the ureters (ectopic ureter). Ectopic ureters usually open further downstream than normal, commonly resulting in incontinence.<\/li><\/ul><p>Approximately 80% of mature dogs referred for investigation of urinary incontinence are diagnosed with urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI) &#8211; failure of the \u2018valve\u2019 of the bladder neck and urethra to prevent urine leakage. USMI can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired and can occur together with ectopic ureters, with the result that cases with ectopic ureters (which are present from birth) can sometimes present later in life as the valve mechanism also gradually \u2018gives up\u2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-15a923fa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"15a923fa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1c3a7f13\" data-id=\"1c3a7f13\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d3e44a9\" data-id=\"5d3e44a9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5670c3b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5670c3b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>What Animals are Most Commonly Affected by Urinary Incontinence?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2364019a willows-standard-list-wrap elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2364019a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2bc182c1\" data-id=\"2bc182c1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1c21a477\" data-id=\"1c21a477\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bcfd48e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3bcfd48e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Urinary incontinence is most common in middle aged to older medium large female dogs, although male dogs can be affected.
