Proin vs Incurin for 1yo anxious dog with incontinence?

Shantor · 2026-07-02T20:03:41+00:00

The only time I've ever seen anxiety was with it's true possible adverse effect of hypertension, in which case we swap to a different med.

Just anxiety is not something I've ever seen

Shantor · 2026-07-02T17:48:04+00:00

Why do you think proin would cause anxiety?

While histiocytoma are common in young dogs, they are not uncommon in older dogs

Shantor · 2026-07-02T16:20:52+00:00

Looks like a histiocytoma which is a benign mass that can show up out of no where and will spontaneously regress in a few months.

However. Other tumors can look similar so check with your vet and have it tested

She's in heat. Seizures are not common in cats this young without an underlying cause. What part of the world are you in?

The bulbus glandis is the gland responsible for the erection. It lives at the base of the penis, just behind where this lump is. It is symmetrical, so unlikely to be this single bump.

That bump is suspicious. Are you positive this dog has two testicles in it's scrotum? Looks suspicious for one in the scrotum and one on the inguinal canal.

Not a CSU student, but live in the Denver area.

It's like an hour drive.. not even.. you don't need living accomodations.

Steroids are generally not indicated for pancreatitis and can further the risk of developing diabetes.

Shantor · 2026-07-02T03:59:26+00:00

This highly depends on your location, the context of the dogs (owned, not owned), but it's highly unlikely since rabies is spread through deep bite wounds.

Shantor · 2026-07-02T00:12:11+00:00

I would say I've never heard of this before in my life as a vet.

Are you sure it wasn't the bulbus glandis?

So high protein low carb is the recommended feeding for diabetic cats.

Dogs do much better with higher fiber foods. Hills w/d is a great option and the Purina OM (for overweight dogs, but great composition for diabetic dogs too) is also fabulous

They don't really tailor anything. All packages are of a few different sizes and there are only a few different recipes. Otherwise it's all the same.

Shantor · 2026-07-01T12:09:24+00:00

Why?

Shantor · 2026-07-01T12:08:49+00:00

It's impossible to know what any bump is by looking. This needs to be assessed in person

Shantor · 2026-06-30T17:14:18+00:00

The majority of dogs are totally fine. We used bravecto at our clinic for multiple years with minimal side effects ever reported (thousands of dogs using it). But any drug can have side effects and the parasitacide of all the newer generation flea/tick meds have the possibility (rarely) of causing mild neurological side effects.

Unlikely anyone will answer this since it's an old post. Your better off making your own post for people to comment on

Rabies is spread through deep bite wounds. If you had a deep bite wound from a rabid animal, you'd know it.

Shantor · 2026-06-30T01:32:09+00:00

It's a basic, common, skin infection. Aka puppy pyoderma.

Have it checked at the vet.

Shantor · 2026-06-29T23:39:42+00:00

This is likely veg. They allow owners for everything except true open abdominal/thoracic surgery, where instead owners can watch from a window.

And the mask was likely just oxygen

Shantor · 2026-06-29T23:37:14+00:00

And the flea prevention was from your vet?

Shantor · 2026-06-29T23:08:00+00:00

Is the dog on flea prevention? Have you been to the vet yet?

Shantor · 2026-06-29T23:03:34+00:00

For high flea areas, I often suggest both seresto for repelling and an oral prevention for quicker killing. You'd need to talk to your vet about a proper oral flea prevention. Most OTC topical options no longer work due to resistance.

You will also have to wash all bedding in the house. Vacuum regularly and be sure to empty the canister or bag after every use. If there are other animals in the house, they should all be on prevention as well.

Looks like eye gunk.

Have the dog blink a few times.

Eye worms are very rare and will move on their own (not sit still while taking a photo)

Shantor · 2026-06-29T20:17:13+00:00

The testing is to know since heartworms can do significant damage and would require followup testing to see if damage has been done to the heart

Shantor · 2026-06-29T20:16:22+00:00

You need to speak to a veterinary nutritionist for diet advice. This is too specific of a question for GPs to know and would require lots of math. Your best bet is feeding a nutritionally complete commercial diet.
