Incontinent dog

Have you considered incontinence pads?

I could use those easily with my Bichon, but not with Robbie he would hate anything like that being put on him he is very sensitive and would very likely spend half the night trying to get them off.

 

As would we all (crikey, I'd hate it too!) - at first! But, as a compromise ... must surely be worth a go?
Certainly I'd try (and persevere) that route if the only alternatives were: put the dog down vs risk slipping on an unforeseen "accident" and damaging my own health.
But, that is just me

 

I know they're not pleasant and they're inconvenient but Robbie's accidents are just that - accidents. You love him and he you so putting up with it is the second last thing you can do for him till you know it's time to say goodbye, that will be the last thing. It's not easy but, if you know you've done everything medically for him then you just have to manage it as best you can. He deserves that much. I feel for you Val . Wishing you strength to get through it for both you and Robbie's sake.
