      Linda, I am glad your puppy is going to the vet, sub-clinical UTI's are not at all uncommon.  I doubt the Fromm is the cause of any of your puppy's symptoms, it's a brand with a good reputation.  If there is no infection, which of course is the better outcome of a vet visit, then there are many things you can do to get your puppy over the housetraining bump in her life's road. I hope your ankle doesn't limit your mobility too much longer, I am sure you'd rather be out in the spring sunshine playing with your pup!

      She is a actually going to the vet next week; good idea. Presently she is eating Fromm dry food, which is what the breeder uses. Our vet has given thumbs up to it.

      So sorry about your ankle. It certainly adds to your woes! Despite the name “Science”diet, a number of folks here, including myself, find the ingredients to be sub-optimal, so good for your vet!  A checkup with vet might be a good idea. Other folks here might have hints on containing Izzy, etc. She is adorable. Good luck to both of you!

      Linda, my first step any time a dog is having accidents is always a trip to the vet for urinalysis to rule out infection or crystals.  My first Scottie had repeated, and I mean REPEATED bladder infections as a puppy, she'd be off antibiotics less than a week and start having accidents with blood in her urine.  Finally, my vet asked what I was feeding her, and I told him I was feeding her Science Diet puppy food.  He went and got a bag off the shelf, read the ingredients, and told me to find a food that did not have soybean meal as a partial protein source.  I think he was shocked at the low quality of the food he was selling.  I switched Maggie to Nutro Lamb and Rice, her UTI's cleared up, and never returned until she developed bladder cancer when she was ten.  So making sure you aren't dealing with a sub-clinical urinary tract infection is the first step, even in a puppy.  Once you rule out infection, then you can work on training techniques.

      Hi everyone, having trouble with housebreaking Izzy, who is almost 5 months old. I have been taking her outside everybody few hours....sometimes she will go, other times she comes in and pees in her bed!  We have had her since she was 8 weeks old. I know she’s young but looking for suggestions. She is ok with pooping outside.    Note Izzy is my second cairn.     To make it more difficult I broke my ankle two weeks ago (walking her, slipped on the only patch of ice left in Massachusetts). Right now she has a variety of people taking her out and walking her. Not sure if this is contributing to the problem as she sees me as “her person”.     help!
