» Lenie - Bowel incontinence


I have a 16 yr old dog who was very fastidious about her potty habits and lately she has been going (mostly bowel) whenever and wherever. She is blind and mostly deaf and has CBFD (Cognitive Brain Function Disfunction). I am wondering if this is normal behaviour for an old dog or is it her CBFD in overdrive??

In response to Bowel incontinence posted by Lenie:


It's probably a combination of both. Depending on the size of your dog, she could be anywhere from 80 to 123 in human age. That's pretty old. She should be checked by a veterinarian every 6 months or any time she seems sick or "different" in any way.
