My 8 and a half cav is doing her needs inside the house all of a sudden. She use to do it on the roof. What is happening?

I'm sorry that Codee is having this problem! Since she's an older dog who was previously well housetrained, I would be very suspicious of a medical problem causing her to have accidents in the house. Some common possibilities would include diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or Cushing's disease. I would recommend taking Codee to the vet for an exam when you are able to. He/she can do blood work and a urinalysis to check for any problems, and will get her started on appropriate treatment depending on what is found.
