Gray Tom, had a dog go round at break in last week and he tyed up really badly, took him to the vet and they gave him minipres tablets for 3 days which have helped, he seems back to his normal self the only thing is it's like he has no control of his bladder anymore, anytime he's laying down he pee's and I'm not even sure he realizes, then when ya go into the kennels he gets up off his bed and dribbles and again I'm not sure he even realizes.. He still seems to be having a bit of trouble peeing. Have you ever seen this before?

Hi Nick,
Sorry mate but it's back to the Vet for a blood test, or at the very least a urine test.
It sounds to me that there are more health problems at play, and these may have been there before the run that resulted in the dog "tying up" and I would suspect that the dog is still drinking more water than normal, has a very low urine specific gravity because of kidneys not functioning as they should, and highly likely a kidney/urinary tract infection.
The main concern at this time is severe dehydration and acidosis.
Cheers, Tom
