Need advice on managing peeing on wood floor

Hi guys

My wood floor is taking a beating and I need some creative suggestions.

Hazel, my 55lb dog, is on a strong dose of Prednisone for her two intestinal diseases. This is not behavioral - she's fine when we lessen the dose. Poor pup.

Here's the basics:

• We can't lower the dose yet and I can't restrict her water intake
• I can only afford to have the dog walker come once during the workday ($18 per walk is rough)
• I am currently lining the floor with 4 large, washable pee pads but she moves them around (it looks like she throws them around)
• I can't use disposable pee pads because she tears them to shit and eats them (even when I duct taped them to the floor - funny picture - https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjn6FDXApgH/?taken-by=hazel_the_pit)
• I can't use diapers because I can't wash her every evening and the vet said she could get urine burn (I guess it is kinda like diaper rash?).

So that's where we stand. My floor (well, my landlord's floors) is taking a serious beating from being wet all the time.

Who has a good idea about how to save the floor?
