        After one vet visit to the new vet we figured out what was wrong with Benjamin! And it’s a lot better better/ easier to manage or control than I thought. He has a Sphincter problem. If your unaware of what that is it means the Sphincter in him can’t open and close, so the slightest pressure on his tummy will cause his to urinate. We got 3 things to help him though, we have crushed up proin tablets to kinda help him control his urine that we give him twice a day. Next we have pain medication we give him once a day. Last we got orbax suspension for his hocks and skin and give him that once a day. Then in two weeks we go back to the vet and see if there has been any improvements. If I would have kept going to the same vet we would get no where, and I’m happy we switched vets. And I really hope this helps him so he can be happy again

          That’s great news! Also good to know such a problem can exist. How great that you’re perseverance led you to a vet who could help. What sort of exams or test, if any did the vet conduct to figure it out?
