Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern! What you are describing could very well be due to a urinary tract infection. If Barbie is uncomfortable or experiencing pain from the infection, the twitching could be secondary to the infection. I would recommend that Barbie be examined by a veterinarian and have her urine tested to see if there is a urinary tract infection going on so that the most appropriate treatment can be recommended. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
