Guest Spencers_Greyt Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi - I have a friend with a older female Greyhound and she's a bit incontinent. Is there such a thing as a female bellyband she could use for her Greyhound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greygirls2 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 No belly bands for females....but panties. You put an adhesive backed sanitary pad inside to absorb the liquid. The thing that worked for me though was suggested by a friend.........1/4 - 1/2 c 1% milk twice a day. When this was first suggested I thought....ya, right!....but it's worked wonders for my girl and I've since recommended it to others who have also used it with success. I tired this as a last ditch effort when my girl had a severe reactio to the Proin (PPA) that is usually prescribed for urinary incontinence so it was obvious she'd never be able to take that and as she was only 5 I was at a loss and desperate for a solution. She hasn't leaked so much as a drop since I started the milk regiment back in June and she loves it, thinks it's a great special treat! Of course you'd need to be sure your pup is not lactose intolerant first. Mine get yogurt and cottage cheese every night at supper so I knew she'd do OK with it. The milk is cheap, no side effects and works! I thought it might be the calcium and amino acids in the milk tightening the muscles.....my vet thinks it may be the trace amounts of estrogen inthe cow's milk and they're just enough to alleviate the problem. Either way it's worked great for us. If you still feel the need for panties I can send you a site that makes them, they are good to have on had, you can make them yourself too if you're handy with sewing. I also bought reclaimed hospital pads to put on all the beds for protection but they aren't needed now.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Two of our three girls have incontinence issues and are on Proin. Personally, I would not use "bad girl" panties on either one of them. They are meant to discourage marking. My girls aren't peeing on purpose - they can't help it. So, why punish them by making them walk around in their urine for something they can't control? I'd rather take the medical route to help resolve the problem.

I still wouldn't want to punish my greyhounds by making them lay in their own urine for a medical issue they have no control over. Just my 2 cents... to each his/her own.
