Jacky - might or might not be relevant in this case and clearly you will find out more from the owner's Vet but maybe this might be of interest... "Neurogenic Incontinence When a dog is unable to close off the flow of urine in the urethra, incontinence problems can occur. This issue can be caused by a problem with the lower part of the back or spine, back joint disease, spinal cord degeneration. All of these issues interfere with the nerves that control the bladder. What happens is the muscles that control the bladder become weaker. The bladder eventually fills to capacity, forcing some urine past the urethral muscles that are trying to keep the bladder closed. This is why the urine comes out in spirts or dribbles. Diagnosis of this problem is done with a procedure called a cystometrogram where a catheter is inserted into your dogs bladder, and your veterinarian measure the bladder reaction to different amounts of fluid. Treatment can be difficult. If the spinal cord injury or disease can be corrected, then the incontinence may correct itself. Medications may also help that strengthen the bladder" Or this link http://www.vetinfo.com/neurogenic-bladder-in-dogs.html

Hiya Julie. I have always cleaned Hollydogs teeth with an electric toothbrush. It's really effective and you can build up by using a soft toothbrush head to a harder one as your little dog gets used to it. Eventually the built up tarter will become lo...See More
