Cici is acting weird?

[mylittlecici]

Ok well the last week has been very stressful for me and I have been quite crabit lol also my room is in the middle of getting decorated so everythings all changing in my room. Cici is fully house trained, never has accidents, she always goes on her pad in her area, although yesterday while my room was getting painted she started to act weird, she was going through my hall whilst peeing :S also peed on the livingroom carpet and today she peed on my bed!!! I mean cmoan, why is this? is it just because things are changing so she is stressed and also maybe picking up bad vibes from me since I am stressed? will this phase just go away? hmmmm please give suggestions!

Well, I think first thing you need to do is calm down a bit. She'll pick up on your every emotion. Dogs have a sixth sense like that & will act accordingly. I'm sure she is feeling a little insecure with a lot going on & with you being stressed it will totally effect her. How old is she? Sometimes when they hit puppy adolescence (7-8mo) they revert back in pottying a bit. You just have to basically start from square one & correct & redirect them to the right spot. Be persistent & patient & she'll catch back on. In the mean time...try to take some deep breaths & try not to worry especially as long as she's eating, drinking & acting fine otherwise.

Could she have a urinary tract infection? Also sometimes change can unsettle them, so, the changes in your room could be causing her to lose her house training temporarily. I would try to get a urine sample to your vet just in case, but I'd bet its just an upset in her world. Try to get her outside to potty more or periodically walk her to her potty pad area and remind her where it is.

oh no she already reverted back and i got her back on track but that was months ago she is now 1 years old and a couple of months. So do you think once i start calming down and be happy she will too? I hate her sad face lol and I hate how I'm stressing her out

I was going to suggest taking her to the vets to definitely rule out a UTI, but it is a possibility that she is a little confused with your bedroom being decorated (I'm guessing everything is moved about and there are smells of paint etc). Also, she could be picking up on your stress.

What I personally would do is try to calm down, start taking her outside to pee every 30-60 mins and if it continues to happen, then take her to the vet for a check up.
Chaos still has accidents, he has been incredibly hard to toilet train and even now I'm still taking him out every 1-2 hours to pee

I agree, stress can affect them in so many ways. The decorating smells are probably quite pungent for her. The room changes and everything out of place is probably a bit confusing and upsetting.
And to top it all if you're upset / stresssed etc, its probably upsetting her to.

My vet always says if they're eating and drinking then there is not usually too much wrong.
Try and keep her busy (and you) with games and walks. De-stress with a nice little walk in the park..even an hour away will chill you both xxx

Take care and I hope she's feeling better very soon.
