Proin works by tightening the muscles in the bladder, which helps reduce leakage, but like any medication, it can affect other systems in the body. It is important to monitor your dog for any unusual symptoms, especially if they begin to appear suddenly. Always consult with your veterinarian if you notice anything concerning, as they can assess whether Proin is suitable for your pet or if adjustments need to be made.
