Ok, we have a soon to be 9-year old sheltie - Nigel - who for going on 5-6 years has never pooped in the house, and all of a sudden, in the past 4-6 weeks, he's had multiple accidents. Can't think of any change in the routine at all.
He's home alone usually on Tues-Thurs during the school year from 7:30 to around 4. Sometimes this happens at night, sometimes during the day.
No change in food. Did have updated shots a few weeks ago. Vet says he's healthy.
Could he be eating something outside? Do we need to walk him more? Go back to the crate when we're gone?
Looking for any advice from folks who may have been through this before.
Thanks!
