my dog has started urinating in his crate at night. my dog is 3 years old and is crate trained and has never had an accident in his crate until a couple of weeks ago. he's been to the vet for a check up because he wouldn't eat then when he did eat a couple of treats got sick. the blood test was fine he was given a shot for the nausea and put on a bland diet for a week. he's back to "normal" except he started urinating in his crate overnight. he gets no water after 7pm goes out at 9pm up at 7am.
