Guest k9soul Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hello, this is regarding my senior girl again. She seems to really be having more rear end weakness and is having incontinence during the night lately. I was just wondering if anyone had product recommendations for this issue. I see disposable and reusable, and I'm wondering what would be best to keep her comfortable and somewhat dry. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Urine or stool? If she lays in one area you can purchase bed pads. http://www.jrsmedical.com/Reusable-Underpads-s/2039.htm Another GT member recommended this company and I have been extremely happy with them. Good prices and free shipping. I received my package the next day. They strive to please their customers. The pads I purchased were the innacare brand-washing and holding up well. Here's the brand I bought http://www.jrsmedical.com/IB-BEDPAD-REUSE-W-FLAP-34X36-ISG13436FL-Each-p/118000swe.htm Edited October 21, 2013 by tbhounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a pad but she's moved off it at times. She did have stool incontinence once in bed but it was firm (actually a bit too firm, I've since been giving her pumpkin) and no issue to pick up. Thanks for the recommendations, I will check those out. I'm hoping once I restart her Rimadyl (just had an allergy shot) she may improve on this.

Tallgreydogmom Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have a waterproof mattress cover. I use the 34 x 36 size incontinent pads. I use 3 across the bed. My old girlie and I both sleep on the pads. They are nice and soft, plus you get to have a clean bed every night if you like. Without fighting with the sheets.

Guest k9soul Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe the pads will work out best. Definitely not kicking the old girl out of bed over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I hope you read the side effects of rimadyl so you know what to look for since the majority of side effect occur in seniors. I would go with the pads. I would never diaper a dog. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with the pads. I would never diaper a dog. She's almost 15 and has been on Rimadyl over a year. She just had a full blood panel done and all was good. I know the risks of Rimadyl, but it's a quality of life issue. Anyway, I was just thinking of those things people uses for females in season, something like that. But the bed pads will probably work out best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_rooly Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Another vote for the Invacare bed pads. They have been indispensable through Aston's prednisone regimen. They are very heavy-duty and wash/dry well. Quote every day a tiny adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
