That is very sad. I am sorry. I am assuming from what you have written that it was in no way related to the Incurin? Cheers, Doorh

What is DCM? Thanks.

Thanks to everyone so far *waves to Rappie* Hello again

Thanks Molasseslass. Have done that. There is some good info on "natural alternatives" which I will investigate. I guess what I am mainly interested in is the effectiveness of Incurin, and also the effectiveness of combining Propalin with Oestrogen (in a low dose) as Propalin alone no longer works for my girl. It appears in previous threads that many people have used Oestrogen with great success, but I can't work out if their dogs are old or young. My dog is 2 and as she is a poodle, she (hopefully) has a long life ahead of her. Cheers, Doorh

I have a 2yo mini poodle suffering from Oestrogen Responsive Incontinence. It came about directly after being spayed. Since 6 months of age she has been on Propalin. Recently the Propalin has not been effective even though my poodle is receiving the correct dosage for her weight. The vet has suggested giving her a low dose of oestrogen (combined with the Propalin), but he is hesitant as a possible side effect is bone marrow supression. Someone has mentioned to me a new drug called Incurin which contains a short acting natural oestrogen, which research has found does not cause bone marrow suppression. I would appreciate anyone's advice or experience with this problem and these meds, in particular if you have used oestrogen meds (and did they cause side effects) and also anyone who has used Incurin. I am also open to natural alternatives. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Doorh
