Urinary Incontinence

By: Dr. Debra Primovic

Section: Follow-up

Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up is essential and may include the following:

  • Administer all prescribed medications to your pet as directed.

  • Allow your pet free access to fresh clean water.

  • Follow-up with your veterinarian for examinations and urinalysis.

  • Additional work-up may be necessary to identify other causes of urinary incontinence if your pet has an inadequate response to treatment.
