Ok, just for my peace of mind (it's driving me crazy wanting to know)...
What is DES??
I'm guessing from the problem that you could be talking about Phenylpropanolamine or Proin 50, but if so then I've never heard it refered to as DES before.
Just curious. Either way I'm glad the product seems to be working for you.

Technical name is Diethylstilbestrol. Phenylporpanolamine was the other drug my vet said we could try if this one didn't work.

I found this on Wikipedia about diethylstilbestrol (DES)
DES for canines
DES has been very successful in treating female canine incontinence stemming from poor sphincter control. It is still available from compounding pharmacies, and at the low (1mg) dose, does not have the carcinogenic properties that were so problematic in humans. It is generally administered once a day for five days and then once every 4 to 7 days as needed.
But I've heard that Wikipedia isn't always up to snuff, so I searched diethylstilbestrol for dogs and found this page.

Sherman, we miss you!
I hope it continues to work for Sleet. I know how much huskies hate to be soiled, it has to be upsetting to her.
Star went thru a bout of incontinence during Sherman's last couple weeks, and after he was gone. I was really worried about her & took her in. They ran a bunch of tests & everything looked normal. He said that sometimes estrogen helped, so he put her on a series of doses for about two months. He mentioned there were a couple other drugs, if the estrogen treatment didn't work. Fortunately it worked great in her case - she has stopped leaking & has been dry ever since. He did mention this is pretty common in spayed females as they age.
