My 4.5 year old MP is being very clingy right now.

More than usual.  She will only stay by my mom or in her kennel.  She isnt doing well with being alone.  If she is out and alone (say we are in the dining room, and she is on the sofa) then all she does is whine and shake. 

She is also weeing and pooing all over the house, without asking to go outside.  She is even having accidents in her kennel (which apparently they wont do, yeah right she does it)

I know that there is a lot of stress going on right now, since the whole house is boxes. 

The other issue is, is this bitch is due to be bred in March.  With her acting the way she is, is it better to wait until next season to breed her?  We have attempted 2 breedings, and neither produced a litter.  If we wait again for another breeding, that means her first litter will be after she turns 5 years old. 

The other MP seems fine, as at first I thought she was coming down with something.  The other MP is still her very outgoing self. 

Dont know how to calm her down, as there really isnt much we can do until we move.  Although, that is another 15 days or so. 

Any advice would be great!!!!!

Thanks

How l;ong has this been going on for?? Days or weeks??
Is her tempreture ok??
First thing would be a vet check to make sure there is no medical reason for it.
If thats ok, she may well be upset by all the commotion and stress of packing the house away, as she will know something strange is happening just not what.

yes a vet check would be my first point of call...

Is there a possibility that your lovely neighbours :-( have done something to upset her? She could be reacting to something that has happened while you weren't there, and is now also reacting to the stress of you packing. Some dogs don't like change, even though you know that everything is going to fine she doesn't.

As to breeding from her, I wouldn't make any decision until you have moved and she has settled down in her new home. If things don't improve then I would definately see a vet.

If there is no medical reason might 'Rescue Remedy' help her through the move.

If her vet check is fine, if nothing shows up at all, you have to put this behaviour down to the unsettlement of moving, if everything familiar is in boxes and moved all over the place in preparation for moving it certainly can upset a sensitive dog. ;-)

Her life is changing and I expect you are busy in preparation also disturbing her usual routine, she doesn't know what is going on and obviously won't understand for another 15 days, then it will be all change again so I would expect this behaviour to continue for possibly upto 3 months of her settling back down, you may have to re-train her especially with the toilet training as a pup, some dogs do hate change, this may very well be her reason.

Once you move have a re-assessment of her behaviour, if she is calm once more and back to her old self and she has had all relevent checks etc and you are sure she is right to be bred from then I see no reason not to go ahead as 5 years is quite old in a smaller breed for that first litter, but........... if she is still nervous and afraid then it just would not be worth breeding from her, she may loose pups due to stress and to be honest you don't want a bitch to be nervous and upset going through the breeding process.

For now all you can do is give her as much familiarity as possible, use things like your nightdress or worn t-shirt in her kennel or on a sofa when she is left whilst you do other things, keep her belongings and familiar scents close to her,try not to over cuddle her as this will make her feel something is wrong, keep upbeat around her and I hope that she soon settles down once moved, poor little girl, if it is the moving at least all will soon settle again soon enough. :-)

Her temp is fine, within normal range. 
No signs of her being sick, like lathargy or something, just she is not her normal laid back, totally happy go lucky self. 
Dont know if the neighbours could have upset her.  Other than, since the complaint went in, the neighbours have been erily quiet, with she isnt used to.  She is used to hearing loud bangs, music, and yelling from that side. 
Will ring the vet, to see what they say. 
I dont know what this "Rescue Remedy" is??????

Oh poor Casie, I just hope she settles down, and doesnt have a puppy nervous breakdown.  Gonna give her a nice rawhide since my other pup stole hers the other day. 
Maybe some obedience training (she loves it when you tell her she is smart, goes crazy actually, wagging her tail and wiggling.)

I hope she is better soon.

Hi Crespin, Bach's Rescue Remedy is a mix of flower essences,, if you 'search' it loads of people use it - people and animals, for things like fireworks, driving tests, judging appts, after accidents etc. I dosed myself after my dog was PTS
It helps cope with stressful situations, nerves, panic attacks and you can either use it directly from the dropped or add it to the water dish.
I would imagine you can get ti in canada otherwise pm me and I will post you a bottle!
