Why is my dog pooping in her crate?

I have a new puppy that is now 14 weeks old. The first 3 weeks I had her she never went to the bathroom in her crate and had been able to make it all through the night a full 8 hours. Now all of a sudden she has pooped twice in the crate in the last 3 days.

She had Coccidia when I first brought her home and got Albon for it. I think she still has the Coccidia because she still has really runny stools. Will the Coccidia cause her to also not be able to hold it?

Could this be why? Maybe the Coccidia has gotten worse and there is more now causing her to not be able to hold it? Asked by aktirak 17 months ago Similar questions: dog pooping crate Pets > Dogs.

Hope the little ones OK A dog will go where it lye’s. You have to train the dog to go where you want it to. The Coccidiosis is a cause for diarrhea which can be hard to control in both humans and an animal.

The best thing you can do is make sure your new puppy is medically OK and then train the pup to go where you want it to.

Please make an appointment with your vet immediately There is no 'fuzzing'around with coccidia and you should go and see a vet ASAP as coccidia can effect the health of other animals living in the house-and even your own health or does of your family. Do not abandon the animal as coccidia is not the animal's fault, and letting it go astray will not be a solution to what you have to seal with. (I'm not accusing with these lines-but I've seen to much!

And rather tell you from human being to human being before you think of an easy way out (again, no accusing-just experience! I'm sure you will do good as you seem concerned about your animal anyway-why else would you come here for answers? ) Coccidia can be picked up by human shoes and being transported into your own house by you or one of our family members.(I don't say it has-but it is quite a usual way for coccida being distributed!

But there can be other reasons as stressing an animal to much etc...the list is endless. ) However, you have to treat the animal and your whole house (or at least every area where the animal had access too (and you).) Keep the animal in an restricted area for a certain time (until you can stop with the medication-which is according to your prescription and after you've talked to your vet and done a double check that coccidia has been banished. ) Clean all other areas (disinfect and let it dry and keep it animal free and free and from your shoes-as you can bring it back - until the animal is healed!

Again, spend time and the money to do a check after the recommended time with your vet!) And yes, coccidia can cause her trouble to hold it-same as with humans when they have serious bowel trouble! Good luck. Sources: Profession .

Coccidia or other parasites may be the reason your pup is defecating in her crate. Typically dogs don't like to poo in their designated sleeping area. I would have her stool analyzed, clean and disinfect bedding, and try taking her out more often if and when her stool is normal again.

1 Please take your dog to the vet ASAP! She needs to be checked out. Whether she has coccidia or something else, diarrhea would certainly make it difficult for her to hold it.

Just think of the last time you had diarrhea: didn't you have urgency and increased frequency, not to mention discomfort? That is what your puppy is feeling and suffering now. She did well with the crate training at first, so I feel pretty sure this diarrhea and soiling in the crate now is something she cannot control.

Isn't she about due for another round of puppy vaccinations anyway? I hope she feels better soon! Kat .

3 Well, she's only 14 weeks old and you're keeping her in a crate for 8 hours! That's why she's popping in her crate. A puppy that age is not completely house trained and they will have "accidents."

It's not their fault. Also, putting a dog in a crate does not suddenly relieve her of her desire to go the bathroom. We sleep with our dog, and while he was a puppy, he would get us up at 4 or 5 in the morning to go the bathroom and then back to bed.As he got older, the time he needed to go out switched to 6, and then 7.

And then he was able to get through the night without going out. But every once in a while, he'll have to go out. You won't know the dog has to go out because she's in a crate!

Dogs are like people, which is why we keep them. How many times have you gotten up in the middle of the night to go the bathroom? Do you always sleep through the night without getting up?

Well, it's the same with your dog. Get the dog to the vet, get her cured of the coccidia, and then at least have the dog in your bedroom or near you so you will know when she needs to go out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
