Accidents in the house - don't know why?

[Catlady711]

Have you been to the vet to rule out a medical cause, like a urinary tract infection?

My thoughts exactly Karen.

I just recently went through this in my house and finally caught the culprit. Turned out Cami had an infection and is now on antibiotics for it, and I haven't found pee around the house anymore.

No, I haven't been yet, but I will be promptly making an appointment. Thanks!

I don't have Nature's Miracle but have been going through product after product and was going to ask on here, what I should get. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just found another accident. I'm very upset because this is getting bad... we don't own our home and the carpet is in terrible shape now. She's had plenty of potty time today. I don't know why she is doing this! I'm pretty sure I know which dog it is... but I suppose I will have them both checked.

Thanks, and if there's anything else do let me know!

Oh one other thing - if she is also doing #2 would that be a UTI? I hadn't thought of it honestly, because I thought that the #2 meant that it wasn't. I thought it was more behavioural. Anyway thanks again.

Are the accidents both poop & pee??

Yes they are, sometimes at the same time (but different places)
Sometimes it's just one, then maybe the other a later night.

I confined her to one room while I was gone today for about 2 hours.
It seems confining her to a room; i.e. at night, while we are out, has helped. That's why I thought it was behavorial, all though I don't know why she would do that.

However she would only do it while we were asleep - but today and yesterday, she did it while I was home and around the house - most of the time she's in the same room with me but she might nap elsewhere. It's never been a problem for her having free reign of the house, but definately not like her to have an accident while I am home.
