Default incontinence in young spayed female

I posted a while ago about Roxy's potential incontinence. Just as we ruled
out URI or crystals of any kind, the problem went away so we opted not to
do anything further. Well it's back, and I'm wondering if there are any
other medical conditions I should rule out before treating her for
incontinence.

I noticed she was dribbling a bit the other day, and just a few minutes
ago, she was laying on her bed next to me and I noticed a fresh pee puddle.
This is similar to how it was happening before, only I didn't notice the
dribbling. Everytime she leaked before, she was laying down (which is what
led my vet to suspect incontinence). The dribble happens when she is
moving around.

Roxy is just over a year old and was spayed by the Humane Society at a very
young age. She has no other health problems. Is there anything I should
rule out, or should I go ahead and treat her? I haven't discussed specific
drugs with the vet, but will. I just hate to have to give such a young dog
meds for what will be a very long time... On the other hand, pee smells!

Oh, and just to be clear, I don't say a thing to her about the pee when I
notice it. She obviously can't help it, poor little thing. I'm not even
sure she notices it.
