Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | spayed | 20 lbs

Have been giving my female dog propalin-3x a day. She is starting to leak again. Is there something else I can give that would work? She is 9 years old, spayed and weighs approximately 20 lbs.

I would also have her urine and blood work checked for an infection or diabetes or kidney disease that may be contributing
