Of course the poop in the crate might be because she has anxiety, I know when I'm anxious about something (surgery, deployment, etc.) my metabolism goes into over-drive.
I would definitely check with a vet, have some tests done to see if there is something medically wrong with her. I would also get rid of the crate all together, you can go hit up a garage sale or a flea market to see if they have a baby gate or a baby play pen that you may be able to throw a fitted sheet over the top of (in case she is a climber) and use that instead. That way she has an area where she can "go" if she needs to and her humans aren't home to take her out, and she'll have a comfy bed to sleep in that stays clean. It will help cut down on how much you have to wash her and will be a cozy place to chill when she has to. |
the heeler, i believe, lives with his parents back home. The OP moved in into his DF's apartment where Bdog lives as an only dog.
