DakotaJ Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Our 11 months Golden Retriever has had a pretty complicated medical history over her lifetime. She has been incontinent since we brought her home but not consistently . She had several UTI's and we took her three vets to get to find out how to deal with the problem. She was x-rayed for ectopic ureter and was cleared. It shorten the story, she has been prescribed Propalin syrup. This has cleared up the problem, thank goodness, but I would like to know if any one has had experience with their dog being on Propalin long term, or have taken their dog off the medication and having them "cured" I have read it can make dogs restless and sometimes aggressive. She has not become aggressive in any way but I think she may be more restless. She is such a young dog I do worry about her being on any medication for the rest of her life.

cornell Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 No probs here! It was very helpful for us for about 3 years. A few years later out of the blue I asked hubby if he was still giving to her he said no we don't need it anymore and it was true. At 11 months being restless is to be expected:) Good luck sweet girl. I am glad that you found something that helped!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshman Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Have given it to two of my spayed bitches over the years, on and off. One had no effects whatsoever that were visible. I did keep reducing the dosage until I felt it was just holding her, and kept it at that. The other got quite anxious and nervy on it at full dose - I took her off and she had no wetting for a couple of years, but she is back on it now (13 years old Border Terrier), but at a quite reduced dosage about 4 times a week. And she doesn't seem to be showing any of the earlier nervy/anxious behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Miss Emma Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I had a dog on it for quite some time and it was excellent. No personality changes at all with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2boxer Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I used it on and off for years, with no behavior changes! I found my girl 'leaked' worse in summer when she drank more and I ended up only giving it to her when she was leaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 We board a number of dogs on it with no issues at all. Most have learnt to decrease the dose or use alternative days & found a happy medium but given there isn't alot of other choices it is a good product sone of the others did affect the dogs worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
