anxiety salivation = soaking Saint?
« on: December 29, 2005, 11:02:17 pm »
we're stumped by this recent development:

Nikki, after being crated for only an hour or so, would become soaking wet on her bottom side. it's not pee, we're 99% sure... but it does smell a lil... and since we just washed her... ugh... everytime she's crated she becomes stinkier :(

she's dampest near her neck/chest, but it also extends to as far as her rear hind legs. i understand dogs do pant/salivate when they're anxious, but every time i come home  she feels like she peed on herself..

thoughts? anyone?

I have no clue but it does sound like she is suffering from some major anxiety when you leave. ould you maybe try leaving her in the bathroom instead of her crate? Or somewhere else with a floor that is easy to clean up if she has an accident?
