If you have had this problem, did the situation improve after stopping the use of Deramaxx?
I have put hundreds of animals on deramaxx and never had anyone report incontinence.
If your animal is lame from a neurological disease rather than an orthopaedic disease, it could be due to a progression of the neuro symptoms.
Rather than taking him off of the deramaxx, talk to your vet about other causes: bladder infection, bladder stones, hormonal, etc.

in addition to what Kate A said about possible neurological issuses, Deramaxx is a NSAID. as with all NSAIDs, protective prostaglandins can be inhibited with can lead to stomach ulcers and Kidney insufficiency or failure. Talk to your vet about further diagnostics and treatments.
