UPDATE on Kukla, for those interested:

Tests reveal she does *not* have Cushing's Syndrome, kidney disease, diabetes or a bladder infection. We're grateful.

The vet thinks she may just have become incontinent with age. We'll be trying out a medication to help with that once it arrives. Hopefully it will help.

Kukla is a very patient sweetheart and doesn't mind wearing doggie diapers to catch the leaks.

Poor dear Kukla! Such a sweetheart.

Our last Joni had spay incontinence (we didn't even know that was a thing) which was kept under control by daily medication. Maybe the medication you're waiting for will have a similar effect. I hope so.

Our old Joni died in 2013, so I don't remember what her medication was. But it was very effective and we never had any problems. I hope yours will be the same! Hugs. To both you and Kukla.
