Our young 7mo male miniature schnauzer was pretty much potty trained at 5 months. He had maybe 1 accident a week and soon after got used to not peeing/pooing in the house until we would walk him. I just got him neutered a week ago and he's having accidents left and right.

Did him getting neutered make him lose control of his bathroom habits?
Should I be walking him more than usual?
Is this just a phase that hopefully will pass?

Any help or past experiences would be appreciated.

Some dogs temporarily "forget" their potty training. My sister's dog did this. Just do whatever you did to train him in the first place, so he can relearn it.

I don't think it's the same thing, but when my puppy got neutered, he had a little bowel upset from the surgery, and he got diarrhea for a few days after. We had to take him to the vet to get it to stop. If it's like that, take him to the vet. Otherwise, try to give him a refresher course on housetraining so he can learn again. "Forgetting" happens to a lot of young dogs

I don't know if it's the same for cats...but our kitty had a similar problem. No problems before, but the second she got home she spent a good week or two going on the carpet several times. She did stop shortly after and has been back to normal.

I would talk to a vet and see if this a concern or just the norm till they get better. I haven't heard of this, but it's always best to talk to a vet who would know.

This should pass but if it keeps going i would go to the vet that he got nuterd from and ask them you can call them or go there your self and they will tell you wat u should do or if it is normal good luck
