Hi all - I just found this forum and am excited to start using it. Here's my issue.
I have a 3 year old dox that has been neutered since he was 6 months old. Over the last 3 years we have slowly added other dogs to the pack, 1 male, 3 females all fixed. Beanie was fine with all of the additions, even when the pups were going through their housebreaking. Last year he started having seizures. I took him to the vet and after all the testing we found there was nothing wrong. I was told to monitor the frequency and duration for a few months then we would talk about meds. He had one about every 30 days for 3 months then they stopped. I have my suspicions that it was his dog food. I had switched brands for awhile and when I switched back is when they stopped. Now my only issue is that he has started going through the house "marking" things while I'm at work. I've tried the pee pads but he doesn't use them. I've scrubbed everything down with quality odor killer. The worst part is now his little brother has picked up the habit. Crating is not a possibilty...... any other suggestions??? I love him dearly and will never get rid of him but I don't want to spend the next 10+ years cleaning up every time I go home. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!! :)
