Hi

I am the owner of a 14 y.o female yellow Lab named Bailey. She has been a great dog all these years, and has survived a TPLO on her rt rear leg due to a torn CCL two years ago and a splenectomy a year ago due to a benign (thank God) mass. Now we are dealing with arthritis, some hip dysplasia, and fecal incontinence. She still enjoys life, though not with the exuberance she used to have. Longer naps pretty much define her days, but she insists on her daily walk in the woods and loves to eat! For the incontinence, we have her on Hill's ID, a low residue dog food. would appreciate any ideas for dealing with the incontinence.

Linda

Hi and welcome, so sorry to hear about your dog have to deal with some illness. Sending vibes and hugs for both of you. I don't know much about incontinence, what was the vet's finding and medication and advice?

Only want to warn you about the dangerous/deadly drugs of Rimadyl and Proin!! Please never give to your dog! See thread in this forum on them. to find, just go to word search at top of page--see blue strip across page --click on it. Put each word in the search box (separately of course).
