Grace 46 posts	It’s very common for older dogs to lose bladder control. Most likely causes are a urinary tract infection (I’m guessing that’s what he had earlier, and why he needed antibiotics) and kidney failure. Both can be treated. I would take him into the vet again, they can help you figure out what’s going on.
