Question
My dog is incontinent. The Vet said she is low on estrogen and might have been too young when she was spayed. He wants to put her on medication, but I want to know first if there is a natural estrogen replacement that I can give her.

Answer
Hi Cynthia- Your vet is correct - there are only two drugs he/she can offer your gal.  Yes, spaying too young is one of the main causes of this incontinence.  Sorry!

Most of my clients take the drug from the local vet and also use NuVET supplements and Cranberry...
Here is the link to NuVET - to keep your gal healthy and well:
Cranberry is great to keep away the UTIs..

I don't know of any supplement other than the Drug the vet has to offer.
Good Luck
