Why is my dog suddenly having potty accidents and straining?

Question

Before my dog was doing fine with potty training and now she’s going all over the place. She would also go in position as if she’s going to go but nothing comes out, if something does come out she only does all little bit and goes again somewhere else. I’m worried if something is wrong with her or I’m doing something wrong. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 8 days old | 11 lbs

Whenever there is a sudden change in bathroom habits, it is always a good idea to check for medical problems. I presume that you are talking about urination, so I would certainly be worried that Molly could have a urinary tract infection. Dogs with urinary tract infections will feel like they have to urinate all the time even if their bladders are empty. I would recommend having your veterinarian examine Molly and check a urine sample to see if there is a medical problem that explains what is going on. Good luck!
