Gypsy is incontinent again!

[dawns2shelties]

A couple weeks ago Gypsy starting leaking when she got up suddenly to bark at something. Once or twice she wet herself while laying there. At 18 mos she had this issue and it was controlled woth meds for quite awhile but when diagnosed with KD I stopped it and she has been ok.

I thought she was leaking due to maybe too much fluids and cut back but when I spoke to the vet he said to increase fluids again to 200 other day but she leaks than, so we decided 100 every day. He suspected it was her sphincter muscle but wanted to delay starting meds. Well the last 2 days she has no control at all! Emptying her bladder while laying there several times throughout the day. I did not give her fluids yesterday just to see how she did and it continued through the night and this morning. I am taking her to the vet but her new vet is not in so I am seeing another. She currently also has an our=tbreak on her Belly so this can't feel too good on those sores.

Thank God for Rapid Bath attachment in my shower. It sure makes cleaning her up easier.

Please say a prayer for her, with her BUN at 100 this really concerns me. I will also have them check for infection but this was happening when she had her last urine test and there were no signs of infection and I have seen no blood when wiping her off immediately after she goes. I am keeping a puppy pad under her and can usually see blood on them when this is the case.

I should also add the last week or so she has had an odor different from the odor of skin disease and I did not like the way she looked lastnight. Her eyes seemed very glassy and watery to me. I am hoping the look in her eyes is just the embarrassment she feels from her leaking. My girl is not very happy right now that's for sure.

Poor baby.

Gypsy, you are on my heart and in my prayers. (just did a "down on my knees" one for you).

Note: Mally sends over some of his big "sheltie kisses" for you and your Mommy.
