Hi everyone! Ok so my dog Gamble a 4 and 1/2 month old sheltie spitz, recently required surgery to remove a sock from his intestines. Before you say the obvious I know that it is my fault for not keeping a better eye on him. Anyways back to the issue at hand. Before the surgery Gamble was pretty much house trained and Kennel trained didn't really have any problems with him. Even for two weeks after the surgery everything was fine no accidents or anything. We had the stitches taken out and in turn his cone taken off about a week and a half ago. Every since then he has been pooing in his kennel at night. So I called the vet to see if there was something wrong and the vet told me that there is really nothing medically wrong with Gamble and it is probably something Phscological. Remember he never did this directly after surgery so its not like he doesnt' have the capability to hold his poo! So maybe you guys could give me your two cents on the issue so I can try and correct the problem. Thank you in advance for your advice.

The intestinal tract is a very tricky part of the body whether it's human or canine. There is a lot of things going on in there with it. I would probably recommend another trip back to the vet to have the intestinal tract checked or maybe even have an ultrasound done. Even with friendly bacteria in there... your little guy may have an infection that may be part of the problem. It's really hard to say so I would bring him in again, maybe even a simple x-ray can rule out any problems.
