I think maybe she just needed a couple nights to adjust, because her bed has been pee/poo free for 2 nights now. *IF* I were to put her in diapers (which I'm not), I would change them throughout the night, not just use them as a "quick fix" so I don't have to get my butt out of bed at night. I'm in bed from about 12:30/1am to 7am getting up 2-6 times every night, clearly, I am not looking for a quick fix. I was, however, looking for a fix to having my puppy laying in her own pee all night/getting her pee/poo scent on her new bed and starting to use it as a toilet instead of a bed.
On a happier note, LOL 2 questions, what kind of shampoo do you use on your furry friends, and, can I clip pups nails (just the clear tips) with sanitized nail clippers at home? |
If she's pottying every 10 minutes, I would get her to the vet. When I noticed my female's potty habits increasing on our walks, I got her to the vet and found that she had crystals in her urine, which are very painful. We got her on a prescription diet and medication and they cleared up pretty quickly...
As for shampoo, we have been using Minksheen and love it. It is an antibacterial, a concentrate (so we dilute it quite a bit with water), a natural insect repellant and has a great scent.
I purchased small dog clippers at Petsmart when I got my two and they work great for clipping nails. Get her used to having her paws touched and nails clipped young and you will be able to do it. Lots of people here have to take their pups to the groomer to have their nails clipped, but if she's used to you doing it... You won't have to.
