Poor Gabby! If she seems like she's feeling unwell, is having frequent accidents, or you suspect an issue it would be best to bring her in for a checkup to your local vet. Bringing in a urine sample (if possible) or having the get one is best as they can use it to run a urinalysis to check for issues such as infections, glucose in the urine, etc. Other symptoms you may see that can indicate a urinary issue include increased vocalization, accidents, cloudy or bloody urine, straining to go, dribbling urine, frequent trips to the litter box, changes in weight/appetite, and changes in thirst/water intake. Be sure to let your vet know if you've seen any of these additional signs.
