Ok, Febe (spelled that way thanks to my little sister when she was 8) is about 12 or 13 years old. She has had diabetes for about two years and is blind. She is fed in the morning & in the evening when she also gets shots for her diabetes. Earlier this year my parents opened a busniness which has kept them very busy. Febe acts as she always has except now she is going to the bathroom in the house (which is partly cause of her illness and them working longer hours). My parents moved to live closer to their business and be closer to febe. They rent so they keep her in the bathroom during the day (typically they check in on her after about 6 hours) & it is a big bathroom. The problem is when she goes to the bathroom she can't see it so she ends up walking in it and making a mess! Does anyone have any suggestions I can pass to my parents on how to better help Febe? She is a wonderful dog that is full of life! Also, she tends not to empty her bladder when you take her out. She ends up barking and pacing two/ three minutes after you bring her back in wanting back out. When you take her back out, she goes again. I thought maybe a UTI along w/ the diabetes? Anyone else?
In case my parents can't find another solution, does anyone know of anyone who takes care of sick dogs?
