bowel problems

20 9:01:16

Question
My 8 year old male great dane has neurological issues that are causing him to not have control of his bowels.  It is a big problem.  Do you have any suggestions?  I need help!

Answer
Because of the length of the back some danes often have these sorts of problems as they get older.  They start with incontinence and gradually go off their legs.  I wish there was a cure as many of mine would still be alive today.  Sorry for the gloomy forecast.
