Need input regarding Proin and incontinence...

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Sedona's been "dribbling" a bit lately.  

Some background: She was an "early spay"(spayed by the breeder's vet before we brought her home).  She's always had a tendency toward "happy pee", but she's much better about that than when she was a puppy.

Her "dribbling" tends to come and go.  About the time we're thinking she needs to see the vet, we stop seeing the evidence.  When it happens, we notice a wet spot where she'd been laying - sometimes just a little, sometimes a bit more, but never like she's actually peed.  

Yesterday, we took her to the vet.  She suspected a UTI.  Apparently Sedona has a "little pee-pee" and a flap of skin in the area that can collect bacteria, so an infection seemed like a good call.  However, the urine came back clean, so now the vet is suspecting "spay incontinence".  One possible treatment for that is a drug called Proin.  Does anyone have experience with this drug?  I'd appreciate any and all input!

My husband's dog was placed on the hormones but she was 14 at the time.  I don't think it made a difference.

My question, I wonder if this medication can be given to cats?  I have two elderly cats, both 16, but one is much older physically than the other.  She does not seem to be urinating as much as having a leaky bladder also.  The spots are wet where she has been sleeping  :(   Even cats will not lay in a dirty area.  I have my entire house covered in tarps after having everything cleaned.  Love this cat but my home looks like a storage area.

Since I have seen some positive comments here, I am going to ask the vet.

Thanks Sandy.  I've looked at this post all day ... and suddenly, when I went to check on my old girl kitty, this thought just popped in my head.  I think this might be an answer for us also.
