I have a 1 yr old coonhoundXrott mix. GREAT dog - and has made A LOT of strides. Only had him 3 mos now, and before that he was never really in a house or socialized. My last dog I did agility, rallyo, and got therapy certified and ran a reading program with with special needs kids. I can train a dog!
Anyway, he got sick monday morning (diarrhea ALL over inside his crate....) while I was at work. Came home from lunch, cleaned him and the giganto stinky gross mess in my bedroom (on the NEW carpet) up, and moved him in his kennel to the garage (attached to the house) for the day where its noticeably cooler. Diarrhea stopped by tuesday morning - but he is NOTICEABLY more comfortable out there (a good 20 degrees cooler with the cool concrete floor) so I decided to have that be his new 'space.'
All was well the first few days and nights (kenneled at night), but yesterday morning he had peed all over the inside of his kennel! He goes out at about 11 pm, then out again at 6 am, and by 6 am he had very freshly soiled all over the kennel. Did the same thing this morning!
Had the vet come look at him about an hour ago, he said to treat him with penicillin ***just in case*** its a UTI - but he doesn't think so. He doesn't show any other symptoms. He thinks Roos is just peeved he's out there. And he won't soil the kennel during the day.
I live alone with just him and a rabbit. When I am home he gets a ton of attention - and when I come home for lunch I throw the ball for him a good half hour, and usually again after work too. He is loose in the house with me whenever I am home, until I go to bed. No other accidents then either. He is house broke.
Any ideas?
