EddiesMom15 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Missy Sweet Pea (age 12 1/2) has started having piddle accidents in her sleep. This is a recent development. Earlier this month, she had an issue when her storm meds failed to clear her system as usual. She was extremely groggy, and spent the night at the vet's office on an IV. She chewed that out, broke out of her kennel, and spent the night roaming the clinic! Luckily, no harm came to the clinic bunny, but you should have seen their faces when I told them Pea has been a stakes racer! Since then, she has recieved no meds for rain/high winds. Unfortunately, she is wetting in her sleep. I plan on taking her to the vet Monday to rule out a urinary infection. In the meantime, I am putting piddle pads under blankets in her usual sleep spots. Any other suggestions or comments? Quote You! Out of the gene pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaineysMom Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 our Rainey developed urinary incontinence at age 5, she was on DES (10mg/1 per week, I think?) and never had further issues. Good luck!

Hubcitypam Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 DES or Proin, depending on what your vet thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottandjo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Our girl Cherry started to have this problem when she was about 13. We were told it was spay incontinence. She was put on Proin and we had no further problem, at least not with sleep dribble. Good luck, hope this turns out to be easily fixed for you too.

GreytNut Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 This is very common in older spayed females. A hormone like DES should put a stop to it. Raven gets a DES tablet twice a week and for the last few years has had no more dribbles.

EddiesMom15 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 A quick update: Missy Pea would not give a urine sample. I thought she had been tested earlier this month. No such luck. So, she's on a two week course of Ciprofloxacin, and remains banned from the couch. For some reason she tears the blankets and piddle pads off the couch, but not off the loveseat. Kittehs are having a wonderful time hiding under the couch cushions. Quote You! Out of the gene pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) A quick update: Missy Pea would not give a urine sample. I think with Bella they wanted a sterile sample anyway....
