Answer
Where does she usually sleep?  When she's crated - where is the crate?

Is the stool normal?  Any signs of an upset tummy?

You say this began 6 weeks ago...think back..did you change her food? What are you feeding? When do you feed her?  Anything at all change?

When you crate her, does that stop the midnight accidents?  

How is she during the day?

Is she a stable dog or a bit anxious?  What's her general disposition like?

I know..questions..and you want answers but I need the whole picture. :)
