[Dailydrool] Poop in sleep

[Elizabeth Lindsey]

I second Bev's advise to have Honey's weak back leg checked out by a  
vet. From having had a basset with ruptured disks, I know that the  
onset of lose of bladder or bowel control can indicate nerve damage,  
which should be taken as a warning that something's going on with the  
back/spinal cord. The fact that Honey seems unaware this is happening  
could be the result of compromised nerves no longer being able to get  
the necessary signals through from her bowels to her brain while  
she's asleep. Better safe than sorry with this--let your vet know  
about it.

I can't imagine how difficult your year's been with losing two close  
family members so soon one after the other. I'm very sorry for your  
loss.
