I have a 3 year old cat that has been licking her privates constantly. I took her to the vet a few weeks ago and they gave her medication for a fungus on her tail but now she is peeing outside the litter box. Do you think this could be a possible UTI?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Harley Quinn. Yes, it is possible that she has developed a urinary tract infection. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian again to have a urine sample tested. I hope this information helps!
