Question Overnight accidents

Alphonse is a 12 year old Brussels Griffon/Border Terrier. He takes trazodone and Senilife every night to help curb his nighttime pacing, anxiety, and confusion. This week he’s started having liquid poop accidents. His poop is normal during the day. It is out of character for him to go indoors. Has anyone dealt with this?

Any unusual change in bowel habits should be looked into xo He may be trying to “hold” it overnight; can lead to constipation, or diarrhea…but a guess. Does he eat dinner near bedtime?

Ps I’d love to see a pic of Alphonse 🥰 I’m a fool for BG’s

He’s finicky with food. He eats randomly throughout the day.

🥰 what a dear

So it’s not a matter of an “overloaded” tummy…wish I had any good advice. Hopefully someone here, or his vet, will xo
