I have recently become the Foster home for a female 8 month retriever mix named Nomad. I do not know her full story, but most of her issues are things that I can help her with. The one thing I would like some advice on is her issue with eliminating.
She won't do it, she will hold it in until she absolutely cannot hold it anymore. I've had her for 3 1/2 days and she has only done her business (pooped and peed) twice. She will not go in her crate, or in my yard, or if I take her for walks. She has only gone to the bathroom while I am at work and she is in one of the rooms there. (I work at a Dog Boarding/Daycare Kennel) It doesn't seem to matter how long I have taken her out for she will not go.
She is severely malnourished and underfed, so I was thinking that maybe that had something to do with her not going to the bathroom that often, at least when it comes to pooping. But I can't understand why she will not go pee. She drinks a lot of water, several bowls a day, but she has only gone pee twice since I've gotten her, once on Monday, and once again today.
Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
