Doggie Incontinent
Hi,
I have a 9 year old chow mix. She's always been an inside dog and rarely had accidents. The only time there were is when she had bladder infections. They were becoming frequent so the Vet changed her food from dry to CD in a can. She's not had an infection in over 5 years. We've noticed lately, she is leaving wet spots and puddles where ever she naps or sleeps. This is totally new and I wonder now if this could be age related. We have carpet in the bedrooms and living area and I haven't a clue what we will do. Is there medication that helps dogs when they get up in age and have this problem? I've got an appt. with the vet on Tuesday, but thought I would get feedback here too. Thanks, Phyllis Texas |

Thanks, Phyllis Texas I'd still check for another UTI, but our old Duchess leaks and she's on DES, which she normally gets once a week. No more leaking. |

Thank you! wiping brow I'm so happy to hear there's medication for this.
I'm cleaning my carpets now and moving next week to a new home. I was thinking I'd have to rip up all the carpeting and put in wood flooring. It will be much cheaper to put her on medication.
