Wetting the bed

[christinebsu]

My 8 year old boxer has started wetting the bed at night. The vet started him on antibiotics for a possible infection, even though his urine didn't show one. Abx. are finished and he's still wetting the bed. I started to take the water away in the evenings. My husband wants to put him in the kennel at night. How can I do this to a senior dog that has slept in my bed since day one? Help!!

Our 9 year old boxer started drinking more water than usual and having accidents, which never happened. You might want to have your vet check him for Cushing's Disease.
