Dear friend,

 

I am so sorry you are having such a problem with your girl.

 

This is a form of incontinence and it may be a bit of diarrhea.

It sounds like her spincter muscles are weak which could be related to her hips. Ask your vet to try a steroid to reduce inflammation.

 

Proin is used for bladder issues and may help with bowel as well:
