Miss Maggie is a 13 year old Basset Hound and her years are really catching up with her. She can’t walk up the stairs without simultaneously pooping…and her mom and dad are lucky enough to find it while walking down the stairs in the morning!

During the last year of my golden retriever’s life – he was 13 at the time – he would leave poops on the carpet. I don’t think he realized it, as his sense of smell had diminished greatly by then. I think his hips were old (he didn’t limp at all but got up slowly) and the stomach muscles he needed to help stand up were also the muscles used to poop. He was such a good boy and would have never done it if he couldn’t help it. We never got mad at him (I would even clean them up discretely, so he wouldn’t feel bad).
I hope Miss Maggie has many more years of going up the stairs. You can clean/replace the carpet on the stairs later.

Our Aussie Shepherd mix is going to be 14 in June and she’s doing the same thing, poor old girl. You can tell she feels bad, so we do the same- clean it up and don’t make her feel worse. It’ll be a sad day when we don’t have to clean up after her.

13? I pray my hounds make it that long. Bring on the poop.

I love that you take care to not embarrass your pooping senior pups, instead of getting impatient. Have you got some of that enzyme spray? (one brand is “Anti-Icky-Poo”, but there are others) – get a bottle of the unscented kind and it’ll be like nothing ever happened. Sending a gentle hug & a pat to all the senior pups!
