As a bit of background, we remodeled our kitchen this past summer. During the course of the remodel, Marigold got pretty upset with all the changes. Starting in about September, she started marking in the new kitchen, which we were pretty unhappy about. And it kind of came to a head last week when I came down for breakfast and found yet another puddle on the counter.
We went to the vet this morning for a consultation. Honestly, we are at the end of our ropes about this issue. Mark is really upset about the situation, and I am having a really hard time dealing with it, too.
They did a urinalysis and an ultrasound on her, and didn't find anything too drastic, but did find some blood in her urine. So the vet thinks it might be a combo of anxiety and (I can't remember the exact term) but an irritation of the bladder lining.
SO, we are giving her one more chance. She is now on Cosequin (glucosamine) for her bladder lining, and also Amitriptyline for anxiety.
Please pray that she will not mark in the house any more! I am really scared that she is going to wig out when the baby comes, and that is going to make the situation so much worse. And if she does continue to mark in the house, I am scared to think of what we are going to face. I love her to pieces, and this is breaking my heart. But we just can't have cat pee everywhere in the house, either. :(
