Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sophie. Based on what you have described, she needs to see her veterinarian. She could have a urinary tract infection or even diabetes causing her to have accidents on the house. Both of these could cause a decrease in energy. Straining to defecate can be a sign of constipation or diarrhea. Diabetes is usually signaled by a dramatic increase in thirst. She will likely need her urine tested and possibly bIoodwork. I hope this information helps!
