Hi there, Velvet is peeing almost every night now while she sleeps. Only at around 8 pm but not before or after. We can let her out at 7:30 and she will still pee at 8. Took her to the vet once before and no urinary tract infection and she stopped doing it until a couple weeks ago. Going to take her to the vet again when we return from vacation. What kind of meds will help or is there a homeopathic way instead?
Doctor Hanna Is in the house today.
Haven't seen you for a while. My last GSP had spay incontinence . I did not want to put her on estrogen because of the risk of cancer. She got cancer anyway. I sewed plastic seat covers for the truck and made streach cloth covers to go over that . I also made a heavy plastic cover for My matress and had all her bedding covered in plastic .So All I had to do was wash the outside covers and the plastic .
Extra work. At the end of her life it became really bad.So I tried the drugs. They worked . She died about three weeks later. . It was not because of the drug. I do not know of any homeopathic remedy. I didn't look into it either like I would now. She went in and out of the sleep Incontinence in varying degrees. for 11 of her 14 years. most of the time it was just a dribble. That was the reason I waited to have Hanna spayed to lessen the risk of it happening again.
Thanks! I really do not want to put her on estrogen. We got her spayed at a late age because when we got her she was 6 or 7, not sure. Started happening on and off when we had her spayed. Down in FL now but will call the vet when I return. She only does it at 8 pm....in a very sound sleep.....on the futon which we are throwing out once we get home. Going to get a porch bench with waterproof covers for the spot in the den. It is an old futon and takes up too much room and since I don't like company staying over, to the dump it will go! I hope to get on more here soon! I lurk a lot though " border="0" />
