Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It could be related to stress after you lost your dog. Please, try Feliway diffuser for 5-7 days. If this does not make any difference, you should take Jessica to your local vets for an appointment. Your vet will check her for skin allergy and anal glands impactation and if necessary, prescribe treatment for that.
