What causes fecal incontinence in dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Incontinence is caused in both humans and dogs by a weakening of the Kegel muscles that close off the bladder/urethra. This muscle can be weakend by various diseases and by childbirth or delivering puppies--and it is also something that just happens in old age. If you have an incontinent dog, you should take him or her to the vet and see if there is a specific, treatable cause. The vet will give you strategies for dealing with incontinence as well.

Don't confuse incontinence with dogs that urinate when they are excited or afraid--this is an emotional/behavioral issue that can be corrected with some extra training and patience. Talk to your vet about this issue, too.

What are the solutions for urinary incontinence?

User Avatar

Asked by Edwardlandstreet

The solutions for urinary incontinence cover a relatively large spectrum, from exercises to surgery to drugs.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises are the most important aspect of any incontinence solutions program. For this reason, ensuring proper technique is essential. There are several incontinence devices that you may find helpful in your pelvic floor therapy. Some of the devices, like the Prometheus CTS 2000 and Kegel Master, actually allow you to see how well you're strengthening the muscle by squeezing on a device that's got an electronic monitor in it.

Surgery is another incontinence solution that should be heavily weighed. However, most doctors recommend surgery only after all other solutions have been attempted.

There are drugs you can take as well, but they're normally only prescribed if you've just had prostate surgery or some other invasive procedure.
