BEAGLE POOPING PROBLEM

Question
MY BEAGLE IS ABOUT 5YRS OLD AND HAS HAD A TRAUMATIC LIFE UNTIL WE ADOPTED HER 2YRS AGO. mOST RECENTLY, SHE HAS BEEN POOPING ALL OVER THE HOUSE. iTSRATHER STRANGE BECAUSE SHE POOPS AS SHE SLEEPS, WALKS RUNS.. SHE WILL EVEN LAY IN IT IN HER CAGE. wE WALK HER 4-5 TIMES PER DAY, AND PRAISE HER FOR POTTY OUTSIDE! SHE JUST CONTINUES TO POOPALL DAY LONG. WE TRIED CHANGING HER DIET, WALKING HER MORE, AND WE HAVE NEVER SPANKED HER. SHE WEIGHS 15LBS AND POOPS 6-7 FORMED STOOLS A DAY. NO TABLE FOOD.. iS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO? I DONT WANT TO GIVE HER AWAY.

Answer
I would suggest a vet visit. Total lack of control is usually a medical problem. Your note does not indicate diarreah, but there can be issues of intestinal infection, nervous system or physical issues. Since this is a new problem, it does not seem to relate to her prior life issues.
