Yes, I'm serious....this is the situation:
A year ago, I had 2 nights when Briar peed in her sleep (and she sleeps on my bed with me...) not just a little ~~~ a great dane pee ! She had NO idea she did it. No other signs of bladder infection. (when she HAS had bladder infections she pees in the house, downstairs, during the day, on the way out the dog door, and had dribbles)
Went to vet, decided to try Proin for the issue; but the vet (lives locally, knows the area) mentions that there is an "old wives tale" locally that some dogs will do this seasonally, when the coyotes are mating, and calling. We discussed this interesting fact, I took the bottle of Proin, and started her on 50mg twice a day. No more pee problems.
After a few months, I decreased the Proin from 2 tabs to 1 and a half, then to one, then down to half, and then stopped giving it. It's been a full 6 months; no accidents. Until last night. Woke up this am to a pee soaked bed.
So........ do I re-start her on the Proin, or put it down to coyote season ?! It is almost exactly a year ago that I had her in for this, and started the meds - I went and looked at the Rx date, and it was June of 2010.
Opinions ? Or are you all laughing at me ??!!
