Question
Our four-year-old Lab has been on DES for the past year for urinary incontinence. What do you think of this? Will this harm her in the long run?
Answer
Even though DES has been used for years for incontinence, some veterinarians are now using a drug called Phenylpropanalamine. It is a very safe and effective long-term drug for incontinence with no known side effects. You may want to ask your regular veterinarian about this drug instead of the DES.
