It's amazing the information that is on the internet. I spent hours today researching bowel incontinence and treatments. We are still working on re-potty training, but no mental connection there yet. I actually found a very odd research article from a Veterinary college from 1988 about an artifical sphincter surgery on dogs that can resolve the problem. It was an old article and I could not find any other similar research. I did find one of the co-authors email addresses as he still teaches at that college. I also found an article by a vet who does animal chiropractic treatment combined with cold laser for this as well. Meanwhile, we'll stick to our acupuncture and re-training and hope for the best.
Our test to move Nathan's acupuncture treatments every 3 weeks failed. He had a horrible 3rd week. So, the Vet moved us back to every 2 weeks again. It took Nathan 3 days to recover from his setback, but he's back where he was again as of today!
Paws crossed for our resilient boy!
