I have tried almost everything. Took him to the vet who charged me $500.00 plus medicine: Proin, antibiotics, Tape worm, Rejuvinate. He will not keep on a diaper, or a wrap diaper. I fix a nice fluffy bed, waterproof; He lays on the floor. Boo still eats, limps around follows me I give him IbuProfin for people because canine pill is $70.00, People Profin is $2.00. Would Motrin be better? He seems happy and affectionate. I bathe him take him out, help him down the stairs and he gets back up pretty fast. I know he must be miserable laying in a puddle of urine. The strong ammonia stench is so bad. Ahhhhhhhh! I love him and do not mind bathing, wiping him, pouring warm water over his peed coat mopping. Sometimes it is hard. I am going to try ACV! If it stops leaking, YaY!

I gave my 11 yr old shih-tzu , 1 tsp with her food last night and I felt like it has gotten worst because the urine leak is the worst I've ever seen. Is this normal? I decided to try it again this morning, and again her urine leak is more than usual. Has anyone experience this? My dog has been on other homeopatic medications from the vet, but it seems to not be working too. Any suggestions?

I have a 2 year old german shephard/possible collie mix that we just adopted from a shelter 2 weeks ago. Since we have had her, she has been leaking all over the house. We got a urine a week ago and took it to the vet, it came back clean. No crystals, no nothing but she continues to leak. It seems to be when she is laying down when the leakage happens the most. She is spayed and the vet thought it was done a a very early age. She was given her rabies vaccine the day after we brought her home. The vet thought that it might be related to behavior problems but I don't agree with that one. I need advise on what to do or try. My husband is about ready to give her back but I don't want to give up on her yet.

This happened after I had her spayed when she was two and I used a herbal remedy of Corn silk, horse tail, Nettle, Plantain and one other herb. It worked great 7 years ago but not so much this time. I read a few posts and I've tried going to the heel. Ca website and the Nutri Pharm website in Ottawa for the Plantago remedy but neither site has this available? I will try some Apple Cider Vinegar in her water too. Any other suggestions? currently I'm still giving her the herb mixture x2 daily and bathing her rear end every morning and usally again in the afternoon. thanks for any advice, Marina " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/incontinence.html&name=RN_55460 /Pets/incontinence.rss5 Wed, 27 Apr 11 16:57:12 -0500 Allicia59 from Bothell, Wa, Usa writes: "Needing some opinions for my 3 year old Bulldog! He has many birth defects including a tethered spinal cord, hip dysplasia, arthritis, is incontinent and no bowel control either. Since November..... Whenever I took him for a walk that would last longer than 15 minutes or so, he would start to bleed from his bottom. Sometimes a little and sometimes quite a bit. It is bright red. He has been to 2 Vets, a Neurologist and now is seeing a holistic Vet. He has had x-rays, ultra sound and colonoscopy so far which has shown nothing. He is now on several herbal supplements from the Holistic Vet but still bleeds. I am at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas and/or suggestions??? Thank you so much.

The kidneys then create an imbalance of electrolytes, which weakens the muscles or ovaries and causes leaks? Maybe the apple cidar vinegar corrects the imbalance, but only as long as its use is continued? Or is it possible that congestion in the liver (possibly from inferior pet food) negatively affects the kidneys? Is it possible that your animal was affected by food that was contaminated, such as during the food recall some time ago? Try feeding your pet a raw food diet. There are many suggestions online." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/incontinence.html&name=RN_34837 /Pets/incontinence.rss7 Fri, 13 Nov 09 10:45:45 -0600 [QUESTION] Dinky Dog from London, United Kingdom writes: "Hi My 5 year old doberman bitch was spayed at 2 and has had mild urinary incontinence ever since which is starting to get worse (it increases after lots of exercise). The vet has said that it is due to the lack of hormones affecting the sphincter muscles and has put her on propalin which, although working, is expensive and makes her quite grumpy and restless. I would really like to find something natural to give her instead. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks :-) " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/incontinence.html&name=ACV_32971 /Pets/incontinence.rss8 Thu, 01 Oct 09 09:25:13 -0500 [YEA] Sarah from Alamosa, Co writes: "I have a 12 year old doberman who was nueterred at the age of 7 when I picked him up from a rescue. He developed a horrible incontinence several years later(would urinate like a water hose and have no idea he was doing it). I tried desperately to treat it with a vet for over a year to no avail. My husband was ready to put him down or make him live outside..yikes!! I found earthclinic and tried putting just a teaspoon of ACV in his water and the incontinence stopped immediately (less than an hour). I treated him for a couple of weeks and then backed off and now only treat him when I notice he is starting to drip or has blood in his urine. As far as an amount, animals are smart, if I get too much, he won't drink his water. It really depends on the size of the water dish, the larger the more you can put in. I just put as tiny amount as I can in his dish which holds about 5 cups of water. Usually one day of ACV and the incontinence stops. I also use a spoonful of pumpkin meat for stool issues. A teaspoon of 3% h2o2 in his water if he gets a bronchial cough and it clears up immediately as well. These rememdies work better than anything I have recieved from the vets, and I have rushed him to some of the best clinics in the state. I save the vets for larger issues, like polyps in the bladder." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/incontinence.html&name=CORNSILK_27585 /Pets/incontinence.rss9 Sun, 31 May 09 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Vi from Saskatoon, SK Canada writes: "Female dog urinary incontinence: Hello, I just wanted to share our success with corn silk for our young mastiff cross. She's a rescue and shortly after we got her we noticed she was constantly "leaking" - and her bed would be soaked after she slept on it. I went online and found that corn silk was recommended for urinary incontinence. She's about 70 lb and we give her about 2 generous tsp per day of dried corn silk. It's amazing - it kicks in just about immediately and if we run out the effects are also immediate! And so economical compared to vet prescriptions - maybe $2 for 1.5 cups.
