Question: My Female Cat, 12 Years Old, Recently Diagnosed (6 Months Ago) With Hyperthyroidism And Being Treated With Methimazole, Has Recently Started Urinating On The Floor In The Kitchen And In A Bathroom. She Has Used The Outdoors For Her Potty Needs But Has Recently Been Introduced To A Litter Box With Some Success, Usually Asking To Go Out For This Activity. Currently She Does Not Ask To Go Out And Is Not Using The Litterbox Voluntarily. What Can I Do To Help Her A) Use The Litterbox Or B)continue To Go Outside And C)stop Urinating On The Floor?
Answer: I Would First Have Vet Recheck To Make Sure No Urinary Infections Or Kidney Issues As Some Cats Treated For Overactive Thyroid With Tapazole Can Develop Some Kidney Issues. I Would Rule This Out At Vet First Before Assuming It Is Behavioral Issue. |
