Venting Fed up – Pug Puppy 7.5 months

Here is the kicker in Massachusetts we had tons of snow this year. The dog did great. She understood the assignment it is cold do my business I get a treat and get inside.

One problem we are having is she honestly doesn't drink a ton and she has a sensitive belly so we cant give her wet food cause she needs beef/salmon/lamb with oats, no corn no chicken.

As soon as the weather turned good, she stop going to the bathroom. She sniff out side looks around is very hyper attuned to everything.

As I type this. She has not gone pee since 930PM last night. It is 1:53PM next day. She has been crated the whole day with water and a chew. I even gave her a cong with peanut butter to get her to drink but that didn't work.

I have taken her out 7 times today and no joy she is not doing anything.

she is going opt spend the day in the crate and I mean all day and night if she doesn't do anything. I am done, I have catered to her spoiled ass to much. As a puppy she was not happy to be put in a crate so I allowed her out with me in my office and to cuddle and to play with me during the day and i watched her diligently to make sure the minimum amount of accidents would happen.

But she is not understanding if you have the opportunity to go, you need to go.

And dont come at me saying dont use the crate as a punishment cause it is not a punishment. We took her outside at 5PM last night she peed and at 530 she pooped in the house.

She gets to stay in the crate until she can be trusted to do her business.

And she is doing the same shit with eating. refusing to eat. I finally had enough and said you get 2 times a day no more grazing, and it gets picked up. And she gets Hangry. Last night she was so hyper for food; cause she didn't get enough because she refused to fully eat it when given. My hubby took her out and she again refused to do anything. She came in hyper and I gave her the 2 dog treats she gets at night do to acid belly. Then took her out and she immediately peed for me.

I have had 4 pugs prior, understand this I know the breed. But not eating and not drinking is new for me with the pugs..

I have taken her to the Vet and have said this stuff to him and he said she is fine. If she doesn't pee put her in the crate and then try again.

Don't honestly know what i am going to do if I can't get her to understand when she goes out she needs to do her business. And you know after after 17 hours she needs to do her business. I don't mind accidents that are accidents. But refusing, and knowing you should be going is a different story.

On top of it she has entered her first heat. 3 days in and she doesn't like having a diaper on. Only good thing is being in a crate she is not spreading blood every where.
