My Lab/chow, Boo is old and leaks urine as he sleeps. 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!

To kathylue ---if your dog has pain from arthritis, find a vet that does acupuncture and chiropractic. I've had amazing results with my 15 yr old shepherd mix who had a herniated disc 2 years ago.

Ibuprofen is toxic for dogs, please do not give your dog motrin, advil, tylenol or any people pain killers without checking with your vet.

I just want to let everyone know that worries desperately about ibuprofen...you are very likely to be prescribed ibuprofen but u didn't bother to look up the ingredients. In my area is "vetprofin", carprofin" are 2 that come to mind. "CHEWY" also carries these. But are considered prescription. So if you wanted to buy them you must have a script. Pharma companies put out these statements so you will pay for prescriptions. Don't be deceived. Do your research.

We use Meloxicam with our vet's recommendation for arthritis. Our dog is like her old self again.

I have a 15year old female welsh springer spaniel and .I have tried Apple Cider Vinegar for her leaking but no matter how I try to give it to her she knows it's there and won't take it, I tried to buy some corn silk, but can't find it anyware, so if anyone knows where I can purchase it in western Australia, I would appreciate it very much thank you

We get our corn silk tea from Amazon. It works for the most part but boy, if you miss a dose, it is very unforgiving! We just put it in a tiny bit of water and after she's drank it we give her a full bowl of water.

I have used the real corn silk from the corn per the americans. Just chop it up, about a tablespoon and put on your dog's food. It works wonders. The dry corn silk never worked for me... FYI
