my 6 year old spayed house dog started pooping and peeing in the dining room every night about a year ago. I could be gone all day she would never make a mess but it was an every night occurrence. Took her to the vet and ran allsorts of tests that came back negative. So we assumed it was some sort of physiological problem . She is now caged every night. no more problems and she never has an accident in the cage or asks to go out in the middle of the night. Why after 6 years of never having an accident is the question - As my vet said hope it is physical because we can treat that mental is hard to treat Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
