About two weeks ago we took Sunshine to the vet to look at her poppy butt. The vet gave her a butt bath, trimmed her matted fur, and prescribed metcam due to arthritis in the lower spine. Since then, she’s been taking .02 mg of metcam everyday without fail. So I’m trying to figure out if her urinating is due to another physical issue, or if it’s behavior related.
Yesterday, while feeding her slices of mandarin oranges for a treat, she peed on me. I was completely confused because I was feeding her a treat. She’s never done that before. Then tonight, she left a decent sized puddle of urine on the floor after I fed her a few of her pellets, before giving her the usual portion that is served every night as her reward for going inside of her cage.
So I ask the question – do you think this is behavior related of physiological? There have been no changes in her appetite, and her stools are normal.
