You could try hand feeding her to get her to eat. If she doesn't eat, you can't expect her to do any potty business. The recent spay and any meds she's on may contribute to her behavior. Is she used to a crate? If not, she may see this as punishment. A good alternative is to use an x-pen (a 4 X 4 portable pen) with the crate inside there. The crate can be left open with her bedding inside and her food and water dish, along with a potty area, set up in the pen. Did the former owner tell you what she is used to? Starting there and modifying it slowly for your life style may help avoid some of the shock of transition. |
