Need help with Jemi'

[jesse_3]

Hey PT'ers. I have been SO busy with school, and the chances I get, I come on to PT. Well, I know that this should go into Dog Behavior, but I need help ASAP!!
Jemi' is being impossible. She refuses to poop outside, but she will pee outside. We have been training her, and training her, and training her! She just won't go outside. I stood outside for literally and hour, and she wouldn't go poop, but when we came inside, she went poop. I thought at first that she picked a single spot where she would always want to poop at, but it is not in the same spot..
Any suggestions for me? My dad is getting really short tempered, and is ready to move out because of the poop. She poops SO much...

I am here to also give an update on Jemi'. We are concerned because she was really skinny when she came here, and her backbone would really show. Well, she was picked on at her old home, so we thought that she didn't get to eat enough. Well, with two meals a day, she has lost weight, so we are thinking that she has tapeworm, or something. I have to keep a shirt on her because I am ready to cry, she looks so ill. The funny thing is, she doesn't act ill.
Also, her bones are not right. Her jaw is crooked, and her ankles bend in, and her feet kind of point out, her back legs are the same way, then her back has an enormous curve, it doesn't look right at all...

Sorry that this is so long. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!!
Steph and Jemi'

Oh my goodness, I'd get this dog to a vet.

She most likely has something medically wrong, either parasites, pancreatitis or many other things. This may also help with her potty training.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help, but with that many issues she really needs to be seen by a vet. I wish you the best of luck & please keep us posted.

I agree! I hope everything is ok. If she has a medical problem that may be what is making her so resistent to house training too.

Thanks for the luck everyone!
I forgot to say that my mom is calling the vet. We are definetely going to get her in. I have some pics of her legs, jaw, and back so it is easier to see what I am talking about...

I cut off her rear end, where her back really curves...

Front legs:


Back legs:

I couldn't get a good shot, and this is a little angled.

Jaw:


The camera makes it look less drastic than it really is, and the camera adds "10 pounds" to dogs too. You can see the bones in her legs...
Once again, thanks for the luck everyone!!
