When she got older she started to leak some urine. She was on rather high doses of Proin (which also worked) but I didn't want her to rely on that. When Mokie died unexpectantly, she was on 1/4 of the Proin that she had been on and had been completely dry for 2 months. I got the capsules at Herbalremedies.com for just a few bucks. Just a thought... --Kelly My granddog (male) had nighttime sphincter urinary incontinence, and after a few days of Proin the vet agreed to a switch to cornsilk. That was last year and he is still leak-free. I don't know whether the few days of Proin worked or the cornsilk (or the combo), so I didn't post it before. But what the heck .... I can reinforce your anecdote, at least. http://www.earthclinic.com/Pets/incontinence.html#CORNSILK If you google cornsilk, urinary incontinence, there's a ton of discussion on this natural diuretic. I don't know anything about the mechanism, except that it contains drying tannins.

If for some reason they don't, we got one of these beds for our old girl. It was recommended to us by forum member Shannon Reed. With the vinyl weave bed, the urine can seep through to a pad or tray below leaving your pup pretty much dry. http://kuranda.com/

Since the dog is having problems with controlling BOTH the bladder and the bowels, I would have more questions for the vet. Does the dog have problems with walking? While I am not a health care professional, some spinal problems can result in the dog being unable to control these bodily functions. I do not wish to alarm you but felt I should mention it.
