11 month old pup - forgotten toilet training

[Strad101]

Stradpup is a small breed and took a little time to house train, but she’s been amazing for months now. In the last 5 days, we’ve had 2 poos in the house and 3 wees - including just now literally in front of an open patio door with access to the garden! Her behaviour is a little ‘off’ as well, rubbish at lead walking all of a sudden and some unexplained panting in the evening.

anyone else experienced this? Could it be a puppy regression and we just need to go back a few steps or something I need to speak to the vet about? She was spayed 7 weeks ago, don’t know whether that might have an impact? TIA

I wonder if it's the change of weather? I say this because I came down to a wee on the floor this morning, and a poo two days ago, from dogs who up to now have been reliable.

Given the recent spaying I'd certainly contact the vet if it doesn't settle in a few days, but I might give it a few days first.

Actually, re-reading the unexplained panting would bother me. I might give the vets a ring.

I would take her to the vet.

Any change in behaviour ought to be checked out as it can be a sign of pain. Spaying can lead to urinary incontinence but that wouldn't explain the poos or the panting.

While regression can be normal for teenage dogs, all the symptoms combined makes me think there's something else going on.

The toilet regression might be normal if it's a breed like a Dachshund, especially if it was raining but given the other changes, id want her checking out
