So sorry about Elvis, I wonder if Princess is okay, or if the surgeon made a mistake? Oh nevermind, I just read that it can be caused by "decreases in the the production of estrogen".

Yes, but Princess also had a spay abortion so the risks were increased.
There are meds for it but they have risks too and it only happens at most once a month so I'd just rather clean it, Its not a full loss of bladder just a little leakage usually drops on her way to the door to ask to go out or on her bed when she first wakes up.

Oh poor little thing, so glad she found a home that's understanding to these types of matters.

Well I adopted her as a pup, I adopted her with a life long commitment.

Princess went into heat the same day I went into labor with baby Marek almost 2 years ago.
Her spay had been postponed too long due to my pregnancy and Elvis has some so many medical issues I'm not getting him neutered until he's more stable if ever...
entirely my fault (still amazed at how Elvis went commando to get to her) I was playing with fire having both an unaltered male & female at the same time, and unfortunately the worse happened, but I tried to do the most responsible choice in the end.

Having a litter was not an option for many reasons.
OP sorry sometimes threads go a bit off topic, but its all in the spirit of sharing and education.

Oh, this will make a great story for those members who ask if bellybands and diapers prevent pregnancy and promise never to leave them alone. I love that sentence, "Elvis went commando to get to her." Lol, I can just picture it, crawling on his belly under furniture and overcoming all obstacles to reach his fair maiden!

Elvis has severe arthritis, somedays he can't get up to our low sofa (well before we got his neds right) he was in a baby gate system that makes a big octagon and is 3a feet tall,

Elvis cleared the pen in a single leap (checked dvr fortage later) he then jumped over a coffee table he had never been able to reach before, jumped over 2 more baby gate barriees between the kitchen dining and kitchen hall...

made it down to the back of the house....still not sure how he got the bedroom door open but to be fair we have those cheapo hallow faux wood grain doors and frames that if not shut properly can pop open if pushed...still he had to have been scratching and pushing...then crawled into the soft sided pen Princess was in by separating the floor from the sides...that is after he jumped 3 feet as her pen was also surrounded by an octagon and baby gate system...

I was at the store about a week after leaving the hospital I think it was, I came home abd went to check Princess and Elvis was sitting in the pen with her panting so hard!

Yeah he went full on and did all of it in less than 30 minutes!
I about fell over seeing him with her.

It was quite a shock, but while at the Vet later a dog was being treating for deep cuts after having broken through a window to get to a female in heat...

OMG, that's amazing, I knew that they were persistent, but this makes me believe that they really don't have much of a choice in the matter.

Try to grab a urine sample....sudden unusual potty habits are often UTI or bladder infections.
