Re-house training our puppy...

Question
We recently got our Rat Terrier puppy, now 7 months old, back from the vet two days ago.  She stayed at the vet hospital for two nights (due to something she ate, the vet believes it caused neurological problems, but is still unsure of what it was she consumed).  She was completely house trained for about a month before we brought her to the vet, however now she is not.  We crate train her and she has never had an accident in her crate.  Now, I came home and she urinated in it.  She is also finding it acceptable to urinate in the house as well.  I was just wondering how I can get her back to being house-trained, and also stop urinating in her crate as well.  Thank you for your time!

Answer
First you need to determine if it has caused nerological problems because thi scould well be the reason the toilet training has lapsed.

If she has any bedding in her crate take that out so it is bare.  Also limit her water while she is home alone in the crate.  Then it's just a case of doing what you did before.
