I know that Kioko has a UTI, so there isn't really frustration yet over any of this stuff. I just don't want to mess up and do something that will make a bad habit later.
Okay, she poops outside perfectly. I've learned what it looks like when she has to go, and she's very reliable with the pooping.
Obviously, the peeing is an issue because of her UTI, but last night for the first time, she peed the crate overnight. Poor thing's blanket was soaked...and it smelled FOUL. Definitely sick pee. I changed her bedding, had her drink, took her out...she won't pee outside no matter how long I wait.
She soiled the new bedding almost immediately. Same drill.
I'm running out of clean blankets and towels for her, so a load is going in the washer right now. It has been nearly 24 hours since she peed outside. She drinks, eats (though not as much as a beagle is supposed to, I think...she's very dainty eater and has to be encouraged to stay at the bowl for more than a bite or two). I take her out after sleep, after playtime, and after any food or drink.
She will not pee no matter how long I sit out there with her. She goes poop and then sits on the grass and won't budge. As soon as I take her back inside, she goes to her crate and pees on the bedding.
Any ideas?
