The vet's not treating her for anything, just suggested that both calcium (for osteoporosis, not osteoarthritis) and ipakatine were worth a shot as they wouldn't do any harm if that's not the problem.

I think she's still managing to poo ok -she's still flicking them all out onto my bedroom carpet lol. I'll have a go at turning her upside down when she wakes up tonight. The loss of bladder control makes sense

Bah humbug! And what excellent timing she has too - I was at the vet again only this morning and would have been more than happy to have her tag along lol.

Sorry to sound dim, but could you provide a link? I'm still learning my way around and haven't found that yet
