Yea, I asked the vet...and she just laughed and said she would grow out of it. Well I also read that if they are around it for too long (like how she has been doing it for 2 months...) they will get used to it and it will become the norm...well I can tell you one thing...this will never be the norm for my sister or family who are the ones who have to give her a bath and scrape the poop from inbetween her paw pads...
Yesterday my sister came home and Lexie had made her biggest mess yet and my sister left her in her cage for 2 hours while she was upstairs walking around. Lexie was so upset that she was shaking when I came home and let her out...and now she won't even go in the room where her kennel is.
I don't know what to do...I have the weekend to figure it out though. My plan for monday is to lift up her food for an hour before I leave and I'm going to get her a SMALLER kennel because I think it may be too big still...
Do you think it will help if I make her sleep in her kennel at night? |
