Proin' 50 Drug for Dogs



As if we all don't have to worry about the effects of our own aging, we now tell the story of an aging dog. Rena is rushing headlong at twelve years of age. She has had a little "bladder problem" for the last 2-3 years. She will leak when she sleeps, especially when she is deep in sleep. Like when she is comfortable and content. Like when she is in bed with us. That ended a while back.




....Neil provided us with the solution. Simple estrogen pills, one daily for a week of so when she leaks. The treatments got closer and closer together until they were almost continuous. Then the worst problem happened. The Kids moved out (empty nest) and she started to sleep in our room every night.......



....we bought a rubber backed rug and laundered it every few days.......


....then a plastic sheet below the rug..............



.....then a shampoo of the carpet every few days. Then that did not take the urine smell out of the room. She won't tolerate being locked out, after all the years of free-roaming freedom. She cries and scratches the door all night......



.....Neil to the rescue again! He gave us a new drug to try..........



....and it worked! Rena was about to "get cancer and die", but Neil saved her. Thanks Neil!!......



....Rena is like a new dog (actually, she just got a haircut today). She thanks you, too, Neil. She didn't like the "get cancer and die" alternative..............
