We have a 15 year Schoodle. He started last night running in and out the house to the bathroom and just dribbling. About 1:30 this morning he came in and went to bed the rest of the night. He has been ok today and now started it again. Dribbling all over the house and running in and out.

Poor RJ! It sounds like he may have a urinary problem of some kind. We can sometimes see symptoms like with with a urinary tract infection, bladder or kidney stones, or something similar. We can also see increased urination with certain systemic illnesses such as diabetes, Cushing's disease, or chronic liver or kidney disease. Since some of these issues can be serious and he sounds quite uncomfortable, I would ideally recommend taking him to an emergency clinic tonight to be seen. If that isn't possible, then I would have him seen by your regular veterinarian first thing tomorrow morning. Your vet can do a urinalysis as well as blood work, x-rays or ultrasound of his bladder, or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem and see what kind of treatment is needed.
