Hi Amanda,
I recommend that you take Onyx back into see a veterinarian. Urinating and defecating like you are describing can be primarily a behavior issue but is often caused by an underlying medical issue. It is important to rule out any medical issues prior to treating this behaviorally. If there is a medical issue it needs to be treated along with any behavior modification. If this is primarily a behavior issue or something like separation anxiety then your vet can work with you one a behavior modification plan that is specific to your pet. This will often include medication as well as behavior training.
