Thank you very much for replying! Yes, I plan on calling the surgeon and asking if there are any surgical options to this problem, and I will report it to her regular vet as well as she is due for her regular physical in July. I don’t think it has to do with her feeding I have made a concerted attempt to keep her weight down since she lost her sight to macular degeneration early this year and I need to lift her on occasion. Also, I think it is important to keep her trim as she ages. I will be leaving my job on July 1 and I plan to feed her dinner earlier in the evening (4:30 versus 6:30) and that may minimize these nighttime ‘accidents.’ Keep in mind that I sleep with this dog and it is disconcerting to awaken with poop balls on the bed. Thank you again for your input.
