Thank you for your video. It is really helpful... My dog Monty has been incontinent for 10 months... He can still get up unassisted, I have kept him walking the whole time.. He can walk quite well and I use a dog buggy for times when he's tired.. I use indoor washable nappies.. He has been incontinent for about 9 months, which does at times weigh on me - especially when he poops indoors. I express his bladder and make him poop before bed time which helps. Lately he seems to be having more spasms in his neck area, he groans a lot during his spasms, and his head jerks during this process. He has also had 3-4 awful episodes of vestibular disease but has not had an episode in over a year.. He has thrown up a few times lately... I do sometimes think he's choking.. I do wonder if he's getting worse.. He loves his food, he's his most happy self when he's in the park sniffing around., he loves people, attention, so he seems quite happy still.. He's very good and will go to the buggy when he needs a rest.. I am still not sure if it is D.M. as he had perthes disease in both hips, so his lameness could be that vs DM? I have avoided the vet due to financial circumstances, I spent a huge amount of money in the last 2 years during his vestibular episodes, hence it has been difficult to revisit the vet. Plus my other dog has acute leukemia so my expenses have been very high.. He is 12, and due to his issues is uninsurable. He is a big west highland terrier and weighs 14 kg. My instagram page is lipliscious. instagram.com/p/CEWy-S_ptzM/ Any thoughts would be appreciated. Jacqueline.
