My dog is nervous on Propalin for incontinence. Is this normal?

Question

My dog has been having propolin for an incontinence issue possibly related to nerve damage which occurred as the result of a very short tail amputation following an accident. She has bee on it for just over a week and is exhibiting very nervous behaviour, behaving oddly and refusing to do things like going outside. Is this likely to be the medication? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 5 months old | 37.4 lbs

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

There is a possibility that the nervousness is related to the Propalin. (Phenylpropanolamin). Side effects can be: Allergic reaction, including swelling of the lips, tongue and face, hives, fever and abnormal behavior. Seizure. Restlessness. Hyperactivity. Increased blood pressure. Increased heart rate. Irritability or aggressive behavior. Loss of appetite, lethargy. I suggest you consult with your veterinarian about either reducing the dosage, or changing to another medication.
