Incontinence English Mastiff

Question
Hi,

We have two rescued English Mastiff's, Poppy is about 5 years old and after being neutered approx two years ago started to develop incontinence problems, our vet treated her with Propalin which we put in her food every day, twice a day. She was fine with this muscle stimulant until recently. However over the last few weeks the problem has worsened considerably, we are changing her bedding at least three times a day as it is soaked. We wondered if you might have any suggestions as to what this could be? WE have had her blood checked and all was OK, no diabetes, kidney problems etc. She is to see specialist vet 28th August but we were wondering if you could help at all, it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Answer
Hi - My answer would have been the DES hormone drug.  I am sure the specialist can help.  Could be some nerve damage related to the spay?  
YOu can use some female pants for now... I know they would need to be very large for her.  There are people that hand make the male wraps and the female pants...

I wish you luck!
Let me know what they say... Please,
