My old decrepit hound has suddenly become urinary incontinent over the last couple of days. She is ancient and deaf and blind etc but seems happy pottering about the garden/yard so have left her to it up until now. Has anyone tried any medication for incontinence? Would be interested to hear about it if you have any suggestions.

My 12 year old GSD was put on Propalin Syrup when she became incontinent, worked a treat. Ingrid

Friend of mine had a Beardie with this problem and she was put on Propalin and was fine after that

We've just started our 13 year old Cocker on Propalin syrup too - only started the drops yesterday so too early to say if there's an improvement yet but keeping our fingers crossed - would be nice to say goodbye to little damp patches on the sofa :-)

If it were just damp patches on the sofa I wouldn't worry too much but she wakes up each morning in a puddle of pee and its not very nice for her or the others.

It worked on my parents diabetic, blind and deaf elderly Cocker Spaniel.

Update on the Propalin - Daisy Cocker is much improved after only 3 days. We have had no further damp patches & no "floods" either - a couple of times recently we have had major puddles, leaving bedding & Daisy's feathering totally drenched but touch wood, none since starting on the Propalin

Glad to hear it you will all be much happier. Can I ask a question related to this Una my oldy 12.5 sometimes has a little accident after she has been fed, this only happens if she has not been out for a while before feeding. At the moment I treat it as my fault for not making sure she has been out as I feel it is caused by full stomach pressing on bladder. Does anyone think that I should put her on Propalin or similar at the moment I feel that it is not serious enough to require treatment and it would be best to hold back drugs in case she needs them later

Sam I tried it with Pixie, but it made no difference - but then she was so senile she hadn't a clue what she was doing

Our last Malamute bitch became incontinent in her old age. Our vet gave us medication for her which worked quite well, but it was a long time ago now and I am afraid I can't remember what it was. What I can remember is that she developed a sort of 'nappy rash' where the urine had come into contact with her skin, which we treated with Sudacream (?spelling), which worked so quickly it was unbelievable and gave her a lot of relief.
