Introducing Atticus Henry VonFinch

Atticus Henry VonFinch

My baby Atticus Henry VonFinch is 13 y/o. He used to only have issues with constipation. but when the vet put him on lactulose and he had to get several enemas, he now has urinary incontinence (he even pees in his sleep sometimes) which the vet attributes to nerve damage from his Manx-ness. The vet did mention a medication we could try called phenylpropanolamine the works by increasing muscle tone in the urethral sphincter, which helps prevent involuntary urine leakage. But we haven't tried it yet because it is off label use and that makes me nervous. If anyone has tried this medication let me know your thoughts on it. For now, it is the puppy pad life for us. I would do anything for him because he is my baby. He is so loving and he follows me everywhere.
