Why is my dog suddenly pooping inside all the time?
We used to live in an apt. and my small inside dog has been housetrained for a year. We moved into a large house and suddenly the dog is pooping and peeing (but more often pooping) inside while we are gone! We started taking him out more and more often because I thought maybe it was because he has so much more room to be active, he must have to go more, but it doesn’t help. He won’t stop going inside! Anyone have any advice?
Does he do it in the same spot? if so it is because he smells his previous “poty” he will continue to go there until you remove the smell…try using a product called natures miracle it takes away the smell so he can’t remember… if it is in different spots, its because he cant get outside to go… try keeping him with you all day and see im he goes to the door when he needs to go.
Ear Care for Dogs
Floppy, short, pointy, or long- no matter what type of ears your dog has they are a very sensitive (and often neglected) part of their bodies. Dog owners must clean a dog’s ears on a regular basis to prevent injury to a dog’s ear. An infection is very painful and, if left untreated, can cause serious problems, including deafness. A healthy dog’s ear is pale pink and had no odor. It is natural for there to be a little bit of wax or dirt in the outer portion of the ear canal and ear leather. If the canal gets hot, red, inflamed, has an accumulation of brown waxy debris, or smells bad, there is probably an infection and you should take your dog to the vet. More symptoms of infection include excessive head shaking, crying out when you touch the ear, and frequent itching of the ear.
If your dog has very hairy ears you will want to remove the hair inside dog’s ears by trimming or plucking to improve the air flow to the canal. If you are not comfortable doing this, a groomer or vet can do it for you. Gather your supplies and apply ear cleaning solution for dogs to cotton balls and cotton swabs ahead of time to make the actual ear cleaning process easier. It is not easy to try to restrain a dog and get a cotton ball wet at the same time! Hold your dogs ear up so that you have easy access and inspect your dog’s ears for infection before cleaning. Take a cotton ball and clean the inside of the ear flap and the outer ear, getting all of the debris out of the creases and grooves. If you use cotton swabs instead of cotton balls, never stick them inside of the ear canal. This type of deep cleaning should only be done by a vet. Take a clean cotton ball and wipe around the inside of the ear, but don’t go any further than the inner canal. If your dog has very dirty ears, squeeze some of the solution directly into the ear canal to provide deeper cleaning. Massage the base of dog’s ear between your thumb and index finger until you can hear the solution make a squishing sound. Let the dog shake his head to release some of the wax or dirt. Clean any left over discharge on the ear flap and inside the ear with cotton balls.
Most dogs should have their ears cleaned once a week but depending on what breed you have, you may have to clean them twice a week. Routine ear cleanings are vital to your dog’s ear health. If you keep a few dog treats where your dog can see them, it will keep him distracted while you clean his ears. Rewarding your dog between each step will reinforce ear cleaning as a positive thing!
