My pug is 8 years old and a insulin dependant diabetic. All the sudden about 2 months ago he started pooping in the house. We will let him outside he will pee outside and come in. 5 minutes later he poops on the floor right in front of us. He poops in the house more than he goes outside. I have looked on the internet to see if it's linked to his diabetes and I can't find anything. We are considering putting him to sleep but, we just can't bare to talk about it. Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks

Heather

if the dog is SICK it is not a behavioral issue and the poster did say the dog was insulin dependant. Crating him will not fix the break down of organs that comes with diabetes. My German Shepard is doing the same thing- He is a family member and will be treated as such and with dignity. No I don't like poop in my house either- so I am taking him out several times a day and NIGHT (he is blind also).

If you can take your dog to the vet- great- if he is as old as mine (14) and as sick as mine- then just help him live the rest of his life as well as he can.
