Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kiwi. I recommend that she see her veterinarian ti ensure that she does not have a medical problem. A urine sample will be tested to look for evidence of an infection, bladder stones or even diabetes. If she does not seem to have a medical issue, behavioral modifications can be made. I hope this information helps!

Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I really can't tell from one single urination if Kiwi is urinating a normal amount, since the total urine output in a 24 hour period is what matters. However, if your perception is she's urinating more, then this always warrants evaluation by a vet, since conditions that lead to increased urine production can include diabetes, kidney disease, Cushings disease, etc. Your vet will want to look at a urine sample, and likely a blood sample, to determine why Kiwi's urinary habits have changed. Hope this helps!

I would recommend bringing Kiwi to your veterinarian and have them evaluate her urine sample. I would be concerned about a potential urinary tract infection if she is starting to urinate inside now. I hope she feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
