We have a 4 month old Golden Retriever. She sleeps in a crate all night in our kitchen, doesn't soil or pee in it. She is fine during the day and cant' seem to hold it at night this past week. She got her rabbis shot and medication for deworming. We were told by our vet that diarrhea is normal and it should go away in a few days... that was Monday now it's Friday she has been pooping/soiling her crate at night. We have to take her out every couple of hours during the night. I know she is still a pup. The crate pooping is very frustrating.:mad: It's worst than changing dirty diaper. :eek: (I have four children) We thought it was the food but it's not. We would appreciate any help you can give us.

I would get back with the vet. He may be able to help if it is still the medicine.

You could also try a bland diet.

If a dog is having trouble keeping anything down or continuing diarrhea try this out of the manual I have from a large, knowledgeable dog guide school.

Bland recovery diet for dogs.

3 parts cooked rice, one part boiled hamburger or chicken, or cottage cheese. I think you can substitute boiled potatoes for the rice. Once in an emergency, we bought a plain baked potato from Wendy's.

This is meant for short time settling a dog's digestive tract. It is not the complete and balanced diet they need long term. I have seen it work.
