Spayed bitches

Propalin was the medication my vet gave me to give to my springer who suffered from this problem.

But Jo, you should change your vet as you obviously have no confidence in him and you do need a good rapport with your vet, your doctor, dentist etc. etc. You must feel you can trust in their opinion.

Spayed bitches

I'm afraid your vet is right Jo and spayed bitches can and do have a bladder incontinence problem. It's the loss of oestrogen that is the cause and the vet can give you medication which will improve the situation. I suppose it's like HRT! I know because my little springer suffered from it. We did give her medication for a time but for some reason it improved after a while and she didn't need it. There are in fact notices up in our vets explaining the possible after effects of spaying.
