Help, forum members. I need some advice on how to address a chronic peeing problem that's been ongoing for about 2 weeks now. Every day now for the last 5 days, we keep finding a puddle of pee in either the living room carpet, their bed blankets or some other carpeted/soft area of the house (of course, they avoid the hardwood.) We don't know which one it is (I guess it could be both??) we have not caught anyone in the act yet.
We even have a dog door so they can let themselves out, it's not an issue about letting them outside. And it's typically at night, from around 8-10pm. It doesn't appear to be a bladder infection, there's always been a distinct odour to the urine when they have those. This is just mystifying to us, they're well trained but seem to be regressing and we don't understand what's going on. (They're 5 years old, they are well beyond housebroken...)
The girls are not aggressive or hyper, they're typical lovable Bassets, but I'm starting to get worried this is some kind of psychological expression of frustration. I just didn't think Bassets got 'passive aggressive'?
Any ideas?
