Hi Jodie
The drinking and wetting is certainly due in part to her taking steroids for her condition. It doesn't make it any easier for her to be house-trained when she's thirsty and so has a full bladder often. But restricting her water is not a wise thing to do either because that could be bad for her health. Are you caring for her 100% yourself now? if so I suggest you get her dosages reviewed by the vet whose caring for her. It would be good to see if they can recommend anything different for her therapy. Some dogs with severe side effects from taking steroids for respiratory problems benefit from a steroid inhaler as an alternative which has less side effects.
