Dog Has Fecal Incontinence When Sleeping

My 3 month old pit bull dribbles pee when she walks and sometimes poops when she sleeps. Why?

Has your doggie been fixed? My vet has told me a few things that can cause the little poops during sleep. Here they are: If the animal has been fixed at an early age (under 6 months), there could have been something snipped or messed up during surgery, the wrong kinds of treats, the lack of or too much treats, seizures during sleep,etc.The problem is...there has really been no cure or fix for my dog. Sometimes she does it and sometimes she doesn't. Luckily mine only "poops" and doesn't pee.

Lotus, this sounds like a good question for your dog's vet. You could try calling and asking them over the phone. Sometimes our vet's office will give simple advice over the phone, so it's worth a shot. If it's something to be concerned about, they'll suggest a visit.

My beautiful Boston Terrier has a problem with fecal incontinence when very relaxed or asleep. He is fully house trained but sometimes releases a very small 'rabbit dropping-size' poop in his sleep.
