I have read that the operation it's self can sometimes effect the bladder because they are in that area during the surgery and can accidentally damage the area. I guess that is something you can look up and read up on. Someone already mentioned it as spay incontinence. On rare occasions it can be a long term problem. I doubt very much that would be what you are dealing with. It's probably just a matter of retraining. |
Ya, that's what I'm thinkin, about retraining her I mean. She wasn't trained when we got her, but it only took about a week and she had no more accidents. Startin back to square one will do the trick I hope. She LOVES being in the livingroom and the bedroom with me, so what I did was used that as a tool to train her when she first came to us. Soon as I'd let her out of her kennel, I'd carry her to the kitchen where I had a puppy pad down and as soon as she would go poo and pee on it, then I'd take the gate down and let her have access to the living room or we'd go back in my room, she caught on fast, so, that's what we're doing now, hope it still works.
