House-Breaking??

My dog is house trained and has been for quite some time, but this week she's had 3 accidents in the house, all bowels movement, for some reason she gives no warning just and does her business but she'll give warning when she has to go other times....she doesnt try to hide it either, she'll do it right when your in the room, she could easily tell someone she had to go out as we are right beside her...
She hasnt been getting enough exercise as she got spayed and isn't allowed...

Could something be wrong with her? Is she just doing it out of boredom or anger for not being allowed out?
Any ideas/suggestions?

my dog had the same problem after his surgery. as he began to heal, the problem vanished. then yrs later he started to have the same problem again. i just thought he was lazy. then one day when there was snow on the ground, i saw him urinating, the snow turned pinkish red! immediately took him to vet. x-rays showed he had kidney stones, not the kind that passes but the ones that require surgery. boy, did i ever feel like a dog. i just think what the poor thing could've gone thru if hadn't have seen him urinate in the snow! so just always take it seriously when you pet changes habits not to the good and get it to the vet. be patient and good luck. hope all is fine.

Great!  I'm glad to hear she'll see the vet tomorrow, so just run the bathroom problem by him.  Hopefully she'll get back to her old self once those stitches come out and she can go back to her old life again.  :-)

She may not be feeling well.  How long ago was she spayed?  Does the incision look OK with no sign of infection?  A quick way to check for fever is to feel the ears where they connect with the head.  Does she feel warm?  You may just need to take her out on a leash several times a day until she can get back to normal activity levels again.  Don't rely on her to tell you when she needs to go.  It's perfectly safe to take her out as long as she's on a leash and not jumping after squirrels and birds.  :-)
