wetting on herself and hormone replacement
|

| Yes and the other one as well Phenylpropan......uh oh, what's the rest of the word ...propanoline??? Splash (that was her name before she started peeing) was just awful. We tried each drug separately but to no avail. While we were experimenting she wore diapers.....not the human kind but something I made up. Finally in desperation the vet suggested both meds and sure enough she dried up. Unfortunately by then she was 12 years old and didn't last much longer. We had her on pills for the 6 years we had her.......she died of old age. |
| I wonder why this happens to sheepdogs more than most other dogs? If it is hormone related, it would happen to all dogs wouldn't it? Personally I think there must be a bundle of nerve endings closer to the inner reproductive anatomy that vets nick with the knife when they go in. Vets should be breed specific trained when it comes to spaying sheepdogs. |
| I don't think it happens to OES more than other dogs. I know it's a hot topic with the Bearded Collies as well!
I spoke with a Vet about this and she said that "skills" in the operating room have very little if anything to do with this. If it were something that was caused by the operation - then hormones wouldn't help resolve it. I had the same concerns as you - that's why I asked her about it! I know several dogs that have been on the hormones for long time periods without problems. Try not to scold your dog for these accidents - she's probably as upset about it as you are!

That med you mentioned, phenylpropanolomine, was very popular here in Canada as well, but was banned a couple of years ago completely. Nothing in Canada is allowed to contain it anymore because it was proven to cause heart attacks. That was in people however. Just thought I would mention it. |

It's my understanding that it was banned in the States too - but only in use in humans. There's been some discussion recently of it being removed all together - which has alot of dog owners upset - because of it's benefits in treating incontinence. |
| Mopsey used to leave puddles when she slept, and she was only 4 months old. So our doctor gave her Propalin. She took it for a while, (a month) and so far (spit three times) it hasn't happened since. So maybe its something you can try? |
