Our 11 yr. old female Lab has developed increasing urinary incontinence over the past six months. From what I've read this is not unusual with female dogs that were spayed at an early age, which ours was.
Our vet recommended Proin, a prescription drug but warned we'd see some negative feedback if we googled it. He was right, some dogs that took it had fatal strokes and heart attacks. Some dog owners reported herbal medication worked on stopping incontinence but our dog hasn't responded to this after six weeks of the herbal brand with the best reviews.
Other than incontinence she's got no apparent health problems and hunts as strong as she ever did. The vet says due to her strength and excellent conditioning she probably will be ok with Proin but there's no guarantees. Anyone here had a dog take this drug or any other drug that has been effective for this condition?
