Has anybody else experienced this issue??
We rescued Twiggy about 6 months ago and she has really adjusted to the home life. The one issue we are having however is her peeing inside. It seems to be random but there are a few key things to know.
- It seems to only happen when we leave her alone. It is not every time we leave but that seems to be the common factor when she does.
- She has a an extra skin fold over her vagina which the vet knows about. We have talked about surgery to reduce it but in the mean time we were told to lightly wipe/dab her everytime she comes in from peeing to get rid of the moisture.
- It seems that every single time we wipe/dab she has some sort of brownish discharge. It varies on how much though. She also will occasionally get long strongly clear/yellow discharge. We have taken her to the vet but she comes back negative for UTIs or bacterial infections. It should be noted she IS spayed.
- Anytime she pees inside it tends to be on our guest bed. This is her absolute favorite spot on the house which is confusing.
- Sometimes when she pees it’s cause we are out late (which we get, cause it’s not her schedule) but other times, like today, was only 2 hours after we left mid day and we had taken her out right before we left.
- She is able to sleep through the night and hold 9-10 hours when she wants to.
- She is not a big eater but is ABSOLUTELY a big drinker.
[EDIT] Additional thoughts. She absolutely has shown behavior that proves she knows not to pee inside. Even when she really has to go she is very good at alerting to us and understands outside is where it needs to be done. So it’s not like she doesn’t know better.
Just need some help!
