Well that good to hear! About how much does that run for the prescription? She was bought from a family and I haven't been able to get a hold of them to find her breeder or anything, so that kind of sucks. I've been really lucky with her vet checks coming in normal and saying she's super healthy so hopefully we get this figured out!


I found a good article here are a couple excerpts:
Although she isn't spayed yet, this describes it:
Hormone-responsive incontinence occurs in neutered dogs of both sexes and occasionally in spayed female cats but occurs most commonly in female dogs. The pet can urinate normally, but they leak urine while resting. Physical examination and blood and urine tests are usually normal in these pets. Hormone-responsive incontinence can occur months to years after a pet is neutered.

And this:
A less common cause of incontinence in female dogs is called vulvovaginal stenosis. It is a condition in which the vagina at the level where the urethra ends is narrowed. Occasionally when the pet urinates, some urine will get trapped in the vagina in front of this narrowed area. Then when they rise after lying down the urine pours out. This condition can be diagnosed by feeling the vagina with a gloved finger. In some dogs the narrowing can be stretched under anesthesia. The incontinence may or may not resolve as sometimes other defects are also present.


I'll have to check and see if it's slowly leaking, or if it's pouring out when she stands. Poor little girl, she was completely healthy...hopefully incontinence isn't the problem... I'm going to start letting her out more see if that helps.
