I posted this in the main forum, but this is really the place...
This is kind of urgent. I bought a little pen and some pads for my 4lb Zoey. She's 5 and was pee pad trained as a pup, but has gone outside since I got her at the age of one.
Anyway...we're having a blizzard right now. Just the situation I bought the little pen for. Well. She's refusing to go in the pen since I put her in it at 4:30 this morning. (It's 12:30pm right now.) She hasn't gone since 8pm last night. Sixteen and a half hours!!!
I really hate to take her out in the storm. That's the whole point of buying this little setup...just for horrible weather like this.
I've walked her around the house, played with her, given her food and water and
nothing! What do you guys think? Will she actually hold it until she hurts herself some way OR go when she feels desperate? She just sits there looking sorrowful and bewildered.
