Urinary and/or fecal incontinence are serious matters when they occur in a companion animal. They can change the mood of a household and dramatically impact the animal’s quality of life. One study quoted in a text indicated that 50% of pets with fecal incontinence are euthanized. Having a solid understanding of the neurological pathways behind these processes may increase your effectiveness as a practitioner; and potentially keep a family together, happier and longer.
