When treating fecal incontinence, it is essential to address all of the complications and causes that may accompany it. For example, a dog who has incontinence in the form of diarrhea may have blistering around the anus, which if left untreated, can lead to a secondary infection. Another instance of a complication may be a stress induced illness. Though you may not be able to ascertain the amount of stress the fecal incontinence is causing for your pet, there is no doubt that the situation is causing him discomfort. If the lack of bowel control is being caused by a simple infection, antibiotics may quickly resolve the problem. A parasitic infection, such as giardia or intestinal worms can be eradicated with the appropriate medication. There are drugs that can strengthen the sphincter muscles if necessary. Surgical reconstruction of the anal and sphincter area may be required in some dogs. The veterinarian will be the absolute best person to decide on the appropriate treatment protocol. Some may recommend therapies such as chiropractic care, physiotherapy or acupuncture, for example, if the incontinence is resulting from lower back pain or weakness. In the case of a senior dog, the incontinence may be less treatable, in which case diapers or frequent trips outside may be of help.

Top Page 15Darth Labrador Retriever 13 Years 1 found helpful 1 found helpful Has Symptoms Our 13 year lab has developed Fecal incontinence over the past few months. This has been accompanied with excessive panting that started a few months before the Fecal incontinence. He has gone in the house a dozen times, goes on the cement patio immediately outside of his entrance into the house and has even gone in his kennel, apparently while he was asleep. He is still willing and excited to go on his walks but a animal control officer noted his "wobbly walk" when he got out of the yard a few months ago. With him being 13 years old, are we reaching the point of putting him down? When we take him to the vet, what kind of tests should we expect them to run and what are a few of the diagnosis we may be looking at? Advanced Hip Dysplasia? July 26, 2017 Darth's Owner  1 Recommendations Thank you for your question. Faecal incontinence can be caused by either a disorder in the anal area (such as a tumour or infection) or from a neurological issue. Given his age and the wobbly walk the issue sounds to be neurological; this can be tested by your Veterinarian by checking for a response when simulating the anus, checking the reflexes of the hind legs and an x-ray of the pelvis and lumbosacral spine to check for trauma, vertebral subluxation or another pathology. The findings from this examination would determine the severity and possible management. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM July 26, 2017 I have a 6 year old female mini schnauzer. A few months ago, she began to expel grape sized ball of poop while sleeping. She is in great health, eats wellness core reduced fat dry food and is otherwise energetic and happy. The problem is almost daily. Two vets have performed anal exams without finding lack of muscle or tumors. She passed neuro exams a fecal tests with flying colors. We are stumped. Any ideas? My 13yo lab is exhibiting the same symptoms. I'd love to know if you found what caused Darth's incontinence and/or a treatment that worked. My dog is only 1.5 years and I see this. Has anyone gotten x-rays? The vet recommends this next. Having same problem with 7.5 yr old female Havanese. She's had urinalysis (she has crystals in urine that we are working on), blood work, fecal sample is normal (no parasites), and a sonogram which came back 100% normal. Aside from her best buddy, my husband, passing 3 months ago, there is nothing medically wrong. The only thing I can possibly think of is, about 10 days prior, she had her anal gland expressed. She's starting a new food now to address the crystals and the vet suggested Glandex for her anal glands (don't want to start everything at the same time so holding off on this). She gives me one grape sized poop in bed almost daily and occasionally will drop a nugget while walking. She goes on pads in the house and otherwise has 100% totally normal BM's. I hope to hear from the vet here because if not, I'm making an appointment with a specialist. My dog (chihuahua) recently had his anal glands expressed at our vets office...since that time he had dropped small pieces of poop while walking and sleeping. I am unsure whether this is something that will pass or not. This has never happened before. My 9 year old Westie has had his anal sac removed and was told in a few days he would stop dropping poo. It's only been 10 days since the operation. But he's still doing it and he seems down all the time. Is this normal and will the pooing stop. LUARNOLD1 -my 13year old hound dog had her anal sac removed 2 months ago, she too has been dealing with lack of fecal control still :-( Have you found any answers. Weirdly enough, at the same time that happened she started leaking pee as well. Doctor has been thinking it is her muscles readjusting after surgery. Wondering how it's going for your baby? Jess Wow, we've all got the same thing going on here with no answers or help. Since my initial post, my Havanese has had an MRI and spinal tap. Know what they found? NOTHING! ZERO! Thank God I have insurance that paid the almost $3,000 bill! Wish we could all get some information here. I'm sure all of us/you have spoken to or seen your own vet, but not getting anywhere. I'm Stu,led as to what to do or try next. My dogs cause is injury due to being hit by a ar. I found her in the street is how she became my dog. Of course no one thinks I should spend so much on a dog that isn't mine, but I love this little long haired Chihuahua☺ Need a neuro vet commendation in Atl.
