Hello, I have an ~2 year old terrier mix who had a pelvic fracture early in life (likely 4-6 months) and lost a back leg, but is otherwise in okay shape physically. The fracture healed poorly and has created a small obstruction in the colon. The result is that our pup may have some nerve damage to the colon and is having a hard time with training to defecate outside.
A few important notes:
1 – she is housebroken for peeing and responded well to this training
2 – the training we have already done has gotten her to the point where she is (about half the time) able to indicate a need to go out and make it towards the door, but often without success
I wonder if anyone has advice on training for such a pup with such a medical situation.
