When she is sleeping, or relaxed, she will empty her bladder (unknowingly) either a little bit or completely. The vet gave me PROIN 50mg to give to her twice daily (1/8 tablet in morning and evening). I had a urinalysis done to check for a UTI, and unfortunately it wasn't that. So, I'm supposed to keep my little one on this medication for the rest of her life!
My question is, has anybody else with a yorkie had this problem? If so, what kind of medication is being given and any other advice? |
i'm sorry your yorkie has this problem. its rare in any dog, and even rarer in small dogs. Proin is commonly used and doesn't have any side effects that i know of. Once you get her medication under control you won't even know she has a problem
