greysmom Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Dogs will many times have issues tranisitoning to using pee pads indoors. They've been conditioned their entire lives to hold it until they get outside, so they will often hold it and hold it until they just can't anymore, resulting in a lake the pee pad can't hold. They get embarrassed and upset, especially if they've been very clean inside the house prior. Encouraging her with treats and praise when she goes inside on the pad is the way to proceed. Having fecal incontinence is likely related to her hind end issues. Trying a nerve pain-specific analgesic like Gabapentin in conjunction with an nsaid *may* help her with her control.
