My dog was diagnosed with "IDS" (intestinal distress syndrome?) And Acid Reflux yesterday. He was prescribed a slew of new medicines, and this evening after our walk, I noticed he was dribbling urine (the urine itself looked normal- like water.)

At that point, he had only had 2 of the new medications, Metronidazole and Odansetron, so we figure if it's a side effect, it would be one of those, but he's also on 6 other medicines (2 new, 4 old.) But googling for the past hour has yielded very limited results.

I hate to put this out on Twitter, but like I said, all the emergency vets responses were "Get him seen right away... but not here we're full."

Oh, I should also add, he's behaving 100% normal aside from the dripping.

hey so I'm not a vet, but I do work in a pharmacy so I hope my 2 cents can help. both medications that you guys started tend have side effects focused around the stomach and intestinal issues rather than the urinary tract. so it definitely sounds like something to see a vet about
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

We don’t use Zofran at the vet clinic I work at but most of its side effects are GI related. I googled a bit as well and found some websites that claimed urinary issues were a less common side effect in humans but I’m not sure how reliable it is. One website was GoodRx.

Yeah I found that too, but they keep saying "Difficulty Urinating (dribbling)" which I'm not sure if it's supposed to mean that it's hard to pee and when you do it dribbles, or if it refers to incontinence. :/

I did a quick scan of plumb’s and zofran doesn’t have anything urinary in adverse effects. Is it just when laying down, etc., or constantly?

It seems to have stopped (fingers crossed), but was pretty consistent dribbling for about 15 minutes, then got less and less over the next 20 minutes until now where it's stopped. He's also on Pantoprazole and Cerenia (new) and Galliprant, Gabapentin, and Denamarin (over a year.)
