Looking for advice. My dog leaks a bit when heās relaxed/sleeping. Just a couple of drops, def nothing Iād call an accident. Culture ruled out a UTI. Heāll be 6 in March.
Vet has him on Proin & now itās just a matter of determining the right dosage. I donāt want him taking it for the rest of his life - not sure what the long term effect is? Has anybody gone through this? Looking for suggestions to take to my vet.
More info, in case itās relevant - he gets UTIs every year. This year was particularity bad, so he got an ultrasound. Turns out his kidney walls are thinner than normal but they canāt say if he was born that way (vs due to aging). So now he takes renal capsules to support his kidney function. Time will tell if this keeps the UTIs away. Also have him on cranberry bladder bites because I heard theyāre amazing.
Theory on the Proin, weak muscle, canāt keep the ādoorā closed when he has a full bladder.
