Dog dribbles urine while sleeping

Question
I have a 13 lb Silky Terrier, male/neutered at 6 months, and is now 3 Ayers old. Recently, I noticed that sometimes in his sleep, he'll dribble a tiny bit of urine, literally drops and make a couple of droplet stains. This is not often, it's happened a few times maybe over 2-3 weeks. There was one night where it was more of a dribble. He is perfectly potty trained and has no trouble waiting to go outside. When he does go outside, everything seems normal and he is his happy normal self! I do remember noticing that he's dribbled before (even back when he was a puppy# after taking him playing at the dog park when we're back in the car, again a little urine dripping and then it stops. So this seems to have happened quite a few times throughout his life and in different occasions. I guess I've been more paranoid recently after finding a more noticeable dribbled spot. Had a comprehensive exam including blood work done just this last weekend and everything came back fine and normal. The vet suggested a urinalysis which he'll be getting tomorrow to rule out infection just in case. I'm just trying to see what this might be or if it's just normal for him #perhaps hormonal thing or weaker sphincter?) because it's happened before and he doesn't have any symptoms of an infection or anything else unusual....I've read that some dogs just do this and was wondering if that is true.

Answer
I am sorry that my answers were not sufficient for you, Cathy. Many people do appreciate the variety of resources I offer. I make very little money from anything I suggest in these answers, so I am not spending hours answering people's questions for free to make money. My commitment is to help people improve the overall health of their animals while resolving the current issue and to begin to look at each separate problem as indicative of an energetic/quantum imbalance. The 7 keys to health, Early Warning Signs, Working with Holistic veterinarians, Reiki and a lot of sites for raw food coaching are actually a key to help animals heal from any problem. Since each individual may need different treatments, providing a variety of possible treatments seems important to me.

For some problems I am able to give a lot of specific suggestions that they can try at home. For others, like your young dog's dribbling issues, I do feel the best is to have you begin to work with an integrative veterinarian. I did give 3 specific things you could try on your own, but I hope you check out the different holistic veterinary associations and find someone to help your dog heal rather than just use drugs to manage the problem. This symptom is a serious one in a young dog.
