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. -- Lynne |
