 Help with Potty Training
This is my second thread on this potty training problem I'm having with Ellie. She has been peeing in her crate which seems to defeat the purpose of crate training. Today, she peed 3 times consecutively in her crate. It was literally consecutive because I would take her out, clean her up, and put her back in and she would do it again!!
I'm trying to figure out what the problem might be, I don't know if its related to behavioral or maybe medical. I thought she might have a UTI but she doesn't seem to exhibit any sort of symptoms that might be causing the erratic peeing behavior. I don't know if she is upset and hates being in her kennel, she is spoiled and as much time as she does have to be in there, its not long enough to soil herself over and over.
I really at my wits end. I would really appreciate anyone's help and advice. shes going to the vet in a couple days and I will ask the doc if she has a UTI. If i can't catch a sample (which I'm sure I can) how do they test for a UTI? Should I take her to the vet sooner then her next appt? It's may 1st. I would do anythign for her. Right now shes no longer in the kennel and I have her pet gate up in the bathroom since we don't have an xpen. I don't want her urinating on herself and causing bacteria to spread everywhere. |
