Why is my dog suddenly pooping in bed and whining early morning?

Question

Hi my dog sleeps with me because she screams in her cage all night and she’s been fine for a long time. Just the last couple days she’s been pooping in my bed or circling the bed at five in the morning and whining. We take her food away at 7:30 or 8. We have another dog but she sleeps in my moms room. My mom doesn’t want her in her cage cuz she starts screaming but doesn’t want to sleep with both dogs either since she gets crowded. What should I do! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 23 lbs

The circling and whining may be indicating she needs to go outside to eliminate. I recommend getting her seen by your vet to make sure there isn't some underlying medical condition that is causing her to suddenly need to relieve herself so early in the morning. If she is an older dog, she may simply be unable to hold it as long as she used to, but it's best to check her out at your vets to be safe. You might consider feeding her two meals a day, one at breakfast time and another late afternoon or evening. Make sure she goes outside right before bedtime and give her plenty of time to relieve herself. Dogs can be like people and do better when they are on a structured schedule with food.
