This is Jason, Devon's Husband.
The last week or so, Muffin has been acting strangely. Heretofore she has always made a characteristic whining sound indicative of a desire to urinate at which point we open the sliding door and she proceeds to her business. However, of late, she has been making the sound and exhibiting other related anxious behaviours but will not even go outside when allowed. When we force her outside she has been urinating with less frequency and often immediately demands reentry.
My wife thinks that she may have a bladder infection or similar problem which makes urinating unpleasant. There is also the possibility that it is a behaviour issue, as she may associate going outside with being left alone when we go out. One thing to support the latter is that she still immeidately urinates when we take her out the front door for a walk.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc. ?
