If you are unable to take her out to go to the bathroom it would be better to train her to puppy pads. The constant use of diapers could result in urinary infections, and sores from the urine and poop touching her skin a lot of the time. She also needs fresh air and exercise so try to make time to take her for walks several times a day. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Butter.
