spay incontinence?!

Thanks to all for telling me your experience with this issue:smile2:. It calmed me down a lot. If all goes by plan she will be spayed in late october/early november. :(( I fear the operation and hope for the best so no sign of incontinence later in life but if it does come I hope the medicine will help. For her spaying is the best choice so I won't be worried sick when I'm at work and she doesn't need to be crated for the whole 8h..
Hanne I remember your thread about this and I re-readed if often now. :yes:

I had my Lil' Lady spayed, with no problem. I had the vet do the laser way and she was
great afterwards. My vet said Mr. Google died last year when I said I read something on google.

It's a funny thing. I have a feeling if I went against my best judgement to follow Google's advice and things went bad, it is highly unlikely he would show up in my office and say to my client, 'Oops, OK, that one's on me. '
 
Love my vets and we just get such a kick out of Mr. Google who the vet said he died last year.
Mr. Google sure can get it wrong at times. Glad to read you Dr. Mac.
 
I had my girl spayed at six months, way back in 2002. She just passed at 15.7 in November, and honestly, only had incontinence issues the last five to six months of her life--and I honestly blame that on age. (No tumors in the bladder or anything like that.) It was dribbling and it stressed her out beyond belief, but we did manage to control it with medication.
 
Sory for your loss:cry:. I lost mine this month but only 5 years old. It is hard.

Thanks for telling your experience. I hope all will go all right with the spay of my girl. Or in the worst case that we can control it with medicine.
 
So in the last few weeks I saw some smaller puddles and drops of urine. I thought it was my other dog who is younger and doesn't follow the rules. Than one day my mom lifted Bju and she was all wet at her pants I thinked ok maybe she was too impatient to wait and pee at one place. But now we are on holidays and Bju made a 'lake' where she was sleeping:((. I thinking my worst fears came true:cry:. I don't know if it has any sense 'hoping' for UTI which can be cured with antibiotics. Any body knows if homeopaty helps for this?
 
Lexi - If it is not is urinary tract inflammation

It is easy to do something about it
just needs a supplement of the estrogenic hormones
or better with a remedy called Propaline. Vet.
You must have it on prescription from your veterinarian.
This solves the problem of incontinence immediately.
 
I see this is an old thread revived so to answer first question yes I had a sheltie who had spay incontinence. It happened at six months right after spay. She was on ppa proin I think it was called. It seemed to come and go away sometimes and I could take her off the meds because I didn't like having her on something all the time. It helps if you take them out frequently and never let them have a full bladder. Also causes problems from constant wetness...like diaper rash, and could possibly lead to uti. It's not fun to deal with. I remember being hugely disappointed because I had just gone through a dog with lots of health issues and was looking forward to a healthy puppy. But we managed. Good luck...I guess the better scenario is it is a uti and hopefully simple and not caused by something else.
 
Ours never had but a cocker mix who was a submissive peer and then just old age dribbles. So 1/6? And not a sheltie

shute i would think having litters could cause the same thing like humans
