Belly bands might really help you deal with the incontinence, but keep in find dogs with urinary incontinence are more susceptible to bacteria infections so you may want to discuss using belly bands with your vet in case they might promote bacteria.
Have you talked to your vet about giving a drug to stimulate the sphincter muscle of the bladder called Phenylpropanolamine or PPA for short.
This drug has recently undergone a class reschedule change to a controlled substance, which has made the cost of medication increase. It is still quite affordable however, and recommended.
In male neutered dogs, testosterone replacement can be done, but this is an expensive ordeal, and not readily available. Most cases will respond to PPA, so this is then the recommended treatment protocol for the incontinent male dog. |
