hi i have a 12 year old toy poodle and just lately she`s starting to
rip up her blanket on her bed and also she is making a mess on the
kitchen floor during the night which she never used to do. She is let
out at night time before we go to bed and she "turns out" no problem,
but now when we get up in the morning there are a few "parcels" on the
floor and also she is weeing as well on the floor. We never had this
problem before so any suggestions as to what might be up with her
would be very much appreciated bearing in mind she`s 12 years old.
Many thanks in advance, Stella.

Very likely there is a medical problem. Discuss this with your vet. Make
sure to do a blood panel as when the blood chemisry is off it will cause
behavioral changes.
