POTTY TRAINING

Question
WE HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD HUSKY, ONA (SHE IS OUR 4TH HUSKY).  WHEN WE GOT HER AT 8 WEEKS (THE END OF FEB 2010), SHE DEVELOPED SEVERE INTESTINAL ISSUES (WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS BREEDER RELATED).  IT TOOK US, ALONG WITH OUR VET AND HIS STAFF, ABOUT 7 MONTHS TO GET ONA "NORMAL" WITH HER POOPY ISSUES.  WE NOW HAVE HER ON A HOLISTIC FOOD WHICH AGREES WITH HER, THANK GOD.  IN THE FIRST 7-8 MONTHS OF HAVING ONA, WE HAD A TERRIBLE TIME POTTY TRAINING HER WITH ALL OF HER OTHER PROBLEMS, BUT NOW THAT SHE'S A YEAR OLD, AND PASSED HER "ISSUES", WE'RE STILL HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH ACCIDENTS (WHICH WE DO NOT BELIEVE TO BE ACCIDENTS) ALMOST DAILY.  SHE IS TERRIBLE ABOUT GOING TO THE DOOR, SO WE HAVE TO WATCH HER LIKE A HAWK.  NOW THAT SHE'S A YEAR OLD, WE'VE KIND OF SLACKED OFF WATCHING HER SO CLOSELY, AND NOW SHE'S BACK-SLID SO FAR THAT WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.  WE LOVE HER SO MUCH, BUT SHE'S DEFINATELY MAKING IT HARD FOR US.  PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.  THANKS, SUE

Answer
Before I answer this has your dog been treated, or checked for a bladder infection? My mother in the passed bought a puppy from a "breeder" who came with a horrible bladder infection. We had to treat her wit antibiotics and on the opposite side of the day give her probioticts (because antibiotics even kill of the good bacteria that controls the bad bacteria. So when a dog is on antibiotics if not given acidophiles, a probiotic they can develop other infections after. I think you should go in and get her a UTI test. I think this is your problem. I am sure they put her on antibiotics for the loose stool problem.

Any more questions please ask!
