I had a spinal injury a few years ago and the surgeon warned me of permanent nerve damage causing incontinence being a potential consequence if it got worse. It's called "cauda equina syndrome", I did a quick search and it looks like it occurs in dogs too. Essentially you lose all nerve feeling on your bowel, hence not knowing when you need to go. I'm not sure what the solution is (if any) but it could be a clue.

This is the hardest gift we can give our beloved dogs.
The gift of peace, to be free of pain.
I truely believe we see our dogs again, that they never truely leave us…they are with us always.
Hugs, hugs, hugs. -

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Dacia didn't make it. What a shock to have her go so quickly, though I suppose in some ways better than a long illness. Hugs to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss, but she is free of pain… and running free over the rainbow bridge with all that have gone before her....

Thinking of you and Dacia today. I hope your painful loss becomes easier to bear as time goes on; and I hope tomorrow brings some relief from your pain.
Losing a family member is devastating. Our Baseji's ARE family.

Our sympathies and prayers are with you as you try to get through this difficult time! I'm so sorry you had to make such a tough decision with such a young and treasured dog, but she will watch over you, thankful that you freed her from her pain.
