Well, she was at another foster's while on the medication so we didn't get to observe her.
About a week after getting back she had another accident.
We got her in to see a vet today. The conclusion is that it is incontinence. She's going to have to be treated for this for the rest of her life. (It also didn't help that the other foster let her put on a bit too much weight. The vet was explaining to me today the negative effect being overweight can have on an incontinent dog.)
So medication, frequent cleaning, drying off the area. Gotcha.
Anyone else have a hard time getting their dog to take their Phenylpropanolamine tablets? Koli doesn't like them. Supposedly they're beef flavored. Also anyone have any experiences with these?

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
