First off, I'm so very sorry you recently lost your dog! That is a very sad loss for you. As for as Tilah, I would be concerned that this excessive meowing and urinating on the carpet is likely related to her health condition. While it could be stress, given she has a preexisting medical condition, it's best that she is seen by a vet for these symptoms. Good luck, I hope this helps!
