My 13-year old spayed Miniature Schnauzer has been bed wetting. Is PPA a good choice for her? Can you provide a prescription? Thank you.
Hi there. PPA (phenylpropanolamine, or Proin) is a very common first-line choice for urinary incontinence in female dogs, and often works well in my experience. So it's likely that this could be a good option for Sofi, depending on whether she has any other underlying health issues to consider. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a prescription over the internet, as legally this has to be done by a veterinarian who has physically examined your pet. So I would recommend making an appointment with a veterinarian in your area to bring Sofi in for an exam. He/she can discuss medication options for urinary incontinence with you, and should be able to provide a prescription for whatever medication the two of you decide to try.

My dog has extreme food and environmental allergies I want to give him probiotics but not sure which one would be best considering his allergies. His on prescription dog food and I don't want to make his allergies worse
Forti-Flora (made by Purina) is approved for use in pets with food allergies. Although it is beef-flavored, the flavoring is made from a hydrolyzed protein that cannot trigger any allergic response - so this is my usual "go-to" probiotic choice for a pet with allergies like this.

I would like to get my dog evaluated to see if she would be eligible to be prescribed Proin, the medication that tightens the bladder sphincter muscle. Is Petco able to assist?
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about Brittany's troubles. I am not sure if Petco has full veterinary services, as that is the appropriate avenue for eventually prescribing proin. When I see a dog for urinary incontinence issues, I start with a full blood and urine panel and a culture of the urine to rule out infections or any other health issues. I also will check the urinary bladder with an ultrasound and take a few xrays to make sure we don't have bladder or kidney stones, or cancer of some kind causing the incontinence. Once I've ruled out any other causes, and I know I need to use proin, I check a blood pressure to make sure that's normal too (because proin can cause side effecrs with that). I'll start a patient on the recommended dose and then recheck to make sure it's working. A couple weela after starting I'll usually check blood pressure, and then once more 4-6 weeks out. At that time I'll often check a mini panel and just double check some blood values. If all is well, i wi

Hi. My vet just prescribed Propalin for Cruz because he leaks urine. I just wanted to know if this is a safe option and if it's something he will have to be on for life or if it's temporary. Are there side effects I should look out for? Thanks.
This may be a lifelong medication for Cruz depending on the underlying cause of his incontinence. It is commonly prescribed for dogs for this condition. Side effects may include decreased (or loss of) appetite, restlessness, tremors, increased heart rate, cardiac arrhythmia or high blood pressure. Most dogs tolerate the drug very well.

10 month old weighing 20 lbs just ate about 50mg of older dogs PROIN What can we expect to happen
Proin starts to be toxic at about 15mg/kg. Kobi ingested just over 6.8mg/kg and at that dose the most common side effects are mild hypertension (high blood pressure) and bradycardia (slow heart rate). Of course, every dog is different. I suggest you have Koji examined by your veterinarian especially if you are noticing any abnormal behavior. Other adverse effects can potentially be seen even at therapeutic doses. They include restlessness, urine retention, anorexia (not wanting to eat), tachycardia (increased heart rate), and hypertension (high blood pressure). Stroke-like signs have been reported rarely. Other rare clinical manifestations of toxicosis may include piloerection (hairs standing up on end), vomiting, tachypnea (fast breathing), anxiety or agitation, hyperthermia (increased body temperature), tachycardia, tremors, and potential seizures.
