Hi everyone,
Our female basset ("Ruby") is three years old. She has a doggy door and has been potty-trained since she was about 3 months old. She's never liked getting wet. We live in LA where there's hardly ever a drop of rain, but when it does rain, she won't go outside on her own.
Recently, we had some heavy rain and during that time she peed in the house a couple of times when we were out of the house or asleep. It has now been a couple of weeks since the rain stopped, but intermittently she's still peeing in the kitchen (ceramic tile) at night. She still goes outside to poo, but has returned to the same spot in the kitchen to pee repeatedly. I've cleaned the spot each time with a combination of "Nature's Miracle", Comet and Lysol. I've also sopped up the pee when I have found it wet with paper towels and placed them outside. Nevertheless, the problems persist on an intermittent basis.
Incidentally, I did take Roo to the vet to check whether it was a UT infection and she was cleared. One other potentially relevant piece of info: Roo has some skin allergies and we give her Prednisone when it acts up.
Anyone, please help I'm really frustrated.
Thanks,
Zack
