Our cat had its tail amputated after injury, hes now incontenent. Back to normal playful self otherwise, just want to know if this can reverse itself?

Rasta, when you say incontinent, is he incontinent of urine or faeces or both? It is an incontinent where he constantly leaks urine or faeces, or where he appears to be unable to hold it so he gets an urge and goes where he stands, or is he just leaving urine and faeces around your house?

Has the vet said he's incontinent and given you any suggestions for whether it'll last or how it may resolve?

incontinent of urine and faeces, he constantly leaks urine and faeces and he is just leaving it around the house which with 5 children aint good:(, vet says the only option is to put him down, dont wanna do it but if theres no other option we're gonna have to, feel so sorry for him

The Sweeper

Whatever trauma he suffered that injured his tail may have done permanent internal injury to him. Your only real choice I think is to get a second opinion from another vet, or restrict him to a single, easily cleaned room for a few weeks to see if it improves.

Has the vet said why they believe he's incontinent? (E.g. an operation on the tail should have no effect on a cat's continence).
