Get your dog to the vet. It is possible that he has something that they can treat. I currently own an 9yr old lab that has diabetes. He has lost his eyesight and he gets 2 shots a day and is doing fine. The dog may be having the accidents due to being scared or something else might be wrong. The vet will be the only person to tell you. Good luck

You didn't say how old your dog is. Is he still in the prime of his life or is he a "senior citizen" ? I have had dogs and cats for over 30yrs (not the same ones of course!) and one of the toughest things for me to learn to accept and do was to realize that if I really care about my animals, I must not selfishly try to hold on to them. They are still very value to us no matter how old they are, but sometimes the quality of their life has become less than pleasant for them. I certainly am not suggesting that if an animal has a handicap or we get tired of caring for them we should get rid of them for our convenience, but what I mean is that if the age of the animal has brought about deteriorating health and it makes it impossible just to get around and their bodily functions are also deteriorating, sometimes the kindest and most unselfish thing to do is to put them to sleep and know that you have given them a good life for many years and to give them peace. First I would take the dog to the vet and find out if there is something that can help the dog's "bathroom" behavior, or if there is some way to work around the problem like perhaps setting aside a small room, basement or garage and make that his living area. His accidents would be confide to one area and easier to keep after. Whatever you decide to do, do whatever is best for the animal so that he does not have an uncomfortable and poor quality of life. Sometimes the best things to do in life are also the toughest. I wish you well.

These are signs to start considering euthanizing him. When his quality of life it not that it should be. Many dogs live a long time being blind, but running into walls and losing bodily excrement's is not a good sign. Especially if his eating and drinking habits have changed and he is losing weight.
I know those aren't comforting words, but it's something to consider - to allow him to die peacefully with dignity and wait on the other side of the rainbow bridge for you is a better way to end his life than to let him continue on without his dignity.
Dogs want nothing more than to make us happy. He has obviously been given a great home with unconditional love and has lived a happy life. He does not want to eliminate on your floors, it's uncontrollable. Please call your vet and ask if they believe things are heading in the direction of euthanization. it's a horribly rotten part of owning a pet, but if we, as humans, could do the same for our human loved ones and save our dignity, we would want that for ourselves, too. Good luck.
