Monitor your dog’s fluid intake. Restrict water, especially in the evening, to minimize nighttime accidents. Consult your vet for the appropriate level of water restriction for your dog’s size and health.
Maintain a consistent feeding schedule. Regular feeding helps regulate bowel and bladder function. Avoid overfeeding, which can strain the urinary system.
Provide regular, supervised exercise. Encourage frequent potty breaks, especially after meals and before bedtime. Establish a predictable elimination routine.
Consider dietary changes. Some dogs benefit from diets lower in sodium, which can reduce fluid retention. Your veterinarian can advise on the best dietary approach for your pet’s needs.
Utilize incontinence aids. Belly bands or diapers can help manage accidents, especially during the night or when house training is challenging. Choose products that are comfortable and absorbent.
Work closely with your veterinarian. Regular check-ups allow for monitoring for signs of complications and adjustments to prednisone dosage or alternative treatments, if necessary. Your vet can guide you in managing your dog’s condition.
