my Mom's older female poodle

My Mom is going nuts, doing laundry every day, because her 14 yr old teacup poodle, a female, has just started leaking urine on the beds and furniture. Yikes! Is this normal with the aging process? Is a trip to the vet in order? Mom wants to try dog diapers, but I don't think "Mandi" will appreciate wearing them. Thanks!

Wow, she's getting up there in age. I didn't know they lived that long. My mother had a mini poodle and he only lived to 11. She might just have a bladder infection, but it might be much more serious. I'd take her to the vet for sure.

Poodles can actually live pretty long. Doggy diapers might be a solution (she will get used to them) but she should be checked out by a vet to rule out a bladder infection or some other problem. Good luck!!

Bring her to the vet to rule out a urinary tract infection. And if she just has incontinence in her older age, there are medications that can help for that too.

... naa, nevermind. It is not even worth making a snide comment about. It would be too easy.

I took Mom's poodle to the vet on May 1st, and she has a urinary tract infection which is aggravating incontinence. He gave her a shot of antibiotics and a pill which she will always have to take, for the incontinence. It's amazing that they can do that to help dogs. Mandi isn't eating like she used to, but she is feeling better, is peppier, and has stopped the constant urination! Yay! Thanks so much to everybody for your input!
