She's a 14yo rottie mix. Unfortunately, she has Cushing disease. This causes her to drink a ton of water. With any older female dog, incontinence can be an issue (because of the spaying process) and it's even more so with her. We put diapers on her but it only helps so much. I get frustrated sometimes, but I think of how much she has given to me and my family. It's worth it.  Previous MessagePrevious MessageBoth dogs are geriatric, 16 years old, mostly blind and deaf. Rudie, the Yorkie gets really disoriented and confused. He kept me up from midnight to 3 am, he was whining and I couldn't get him to settle. My dogs have won the lottery with the care they get, it was just a frustrating night and I'm feeling like crap today accordingly. |
