I have a 6 month old Jack Rat (
Jack Russell Terrier mix) that I bought from a
pet store on 1/3. She was about 13 weeks when we brought her home. Anyway she has been a great dog. The only problem is that I brought her to be fixed on 3/5 and ever since then she can not hold it (or chooses not to) for more than 4 hrs tops. She was holding it in her cage for 6 1/2 hrs for about 3 wks until I got her fixed. I am afraid if this goes on to much longer that she is going to think it's OK and never stop. I don't want, for her sake , a dog that has to spend the rest of it's days when we are not home in her cage. I don't think that's fair.
I took her to make sure she did not have a urinary infection and she doesn't.
She gets plenty of exercise, 2 walks, one for 20 minutes in the morning and one for 30 minutes in the evening. She gets something to chew on every night and PLENTY of attention. I don't have any kids so she is my first born. Her schedule has not changed, her cage is in the same spot.
The vet put her on Hormone pills. She says she has seen this before and sometimes it's so tramiatic to the dog that this is what happens. Hopefully that will help.
I am new to this site, I am trying everything I can think of but so far no progress.
HELP!!
