Kenzie has started leaking when she is asleep/ complete rest, only at night. It started after the first ultra sound she had for her heart, two weeks ago. I am grasping at straws here but does Tylan have any effect? She is on the minimum of 1/8th tsp twice a day.
Thanks

Kenzie diagnosed Sept 2015. Fed 3 times a day on Millies Wolfheart, Panzym enzymes 1+ tsp per 120grams food, 1/8 tsp tylan twice a day, altenate 1/2 b12 per day. Also on 1 previcox a day for arthritis in paws and 1 Apoquel for allergies. Diagnosed with poor heart contractibility Sept 2020, on 1 Vetmedin twice a day. 2nd heart scan March 21 shows little deterioration so appear to be working.
Latest TLI was 5.5 Previous readings have been TLI - 3.4 and 4.2.

Re: Leakage at nights
Do you mean anal leakage or urine leakage?
Could be impacted anal glands:

If it is urine leakage it could be spay incontinence or other:

Re: Leakage at nights
It is urine leakage but doesn't smell. Also noticed her drinking more.

Re: Leakage at nights
Have them check for a UTI and Diabetes... and if negative.... talk to your vet about checking for Cushings or A-Typical Cushings.
My dog started "leaking" with excessive thirst and it took 2 years to correctly diagnose with A-Typical Cushings since he did not have any of the other more prevalent symptoms/signs like looking kind of bloated nor did he have darkening of the skin... that all came much later in life...... SO.... i'm jsut saying might want to keep this on your radar just in case. .
I have never heard of Tylan triggering something like this. But what i can tell you is prior to my dog Rico being properly diagnosed with A-Typical Cushings... he has yucky stools... light colored too... and yet Tylan did not help nor did Metronidazole... but as soon as the diagnosed him with A-Typical Cushings and put him on Lysodren... within 1 week all his symptoms disappeared. He lived for 11 years with A-Typical Cushings . My vet initially thought Rico had or was segueing into EPI since he had a lot of the typical symptoms of EPI. But when then ran the TLI test, he came back with a score of 7.6 so, although not the best score, we started looking at other possibilities in case it never segued into EPI....

Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Re: Leakage at nights
My pom Tristain was diagnosed with EPI several months ago. He has been on the enzymes, slippery elm, since and his stool has never completely cleared up. He too has had some leakage issues that come and go. I am going to have the TLI test run on him because I have always thought he may have Cushings, but vets always say no. He drinks so much water and urinates a lot and pants a lot too. He's hair is thin and skin darker on his rear. The vet said leakage was from his age, 11 years. I'm glad you posted this. Thank you so much!
Re: Leakage at nights
Was your pup diagnosed with Epi using the Tli test? If so you do not need to retest. The Tli will not increase.

Re: Leakage at nights
Hi Detta,
Regarding your pup Tristan..... Cushings is not always easy to diagnose... and sometimes, with some vets, you just have to listen to your gut ..... and if you feel strongly about something, in the end it is your dog, your dollar.
I had a situation with my EPI gal Izzy, when she developed IMHA (immune mediated hemolytic anemia). She was not responding to treatment as expected....Because of my research i read where sometimes with IMHA, they develop low thyroid as a result of the IMHA, not because they developed low thyroid as a stand alone condition .... my vet disagreed with me and said there is no connection. I insisted he test her for low thyroid. So he did, and apologized to me when the results came back. She had low thyroid. So they started treating her for it... and then her very low HGT numbers started getting better. SO you never know.........Sometimes diagnosing a dog can be part science and part guess work............
