Has anyone's dog experienced temporary incontinence after a spay? For how long? |
I'm well aware of potential life-long spay incontinence, but have also heard of only temporary incontinence following a spay. I mean immediately after spay. My dog has experienced incontinence approx. once a week starting the week of the spay and only directly after coming in from urinating outside. Vet. ruled out UTI and says it isn't spay incontinence b/c not while sleeping or at rest. It is a life-long problem. It's worse with spays done too early rather than later. Do you mean *straight* after a spay, or just short periods of incontinence in a spayed *****? If you're talking about incontinence right after - as in the day of and a day following the spay - then "yes." My little Chi came home after her spay and peed once in her bed and another time on the carpet even though she wasn't squatting at the time. I did contact the vet and he said that was fairly normal, but if it continued for more than a day or two, to bring her in. It did resolve without intervention. I have never heard of this as being temporary. I have had several b*tches with spay incontinence (all Dobermans) and each one was life-long. I would speak to your Vet about this. Proin works very good, but if it doesn't, they will usually prescribe DES. In both cases, there should be frequent blood testing, usually twice (at least) per year. I suppose there could a temporary incontinence, but all dogs I know with this problem have it continually. There is medication for it, called Proin 50, which my dog is on. |
