Litter Box Problems

Abbysmom:

I have 3 boxes throughout the house.
She favors the one in the computer room.
Her accidents are right next to the litter box or real close.
Our vet was not sure where the infection came from just her white count was high.
She is doing well on the antibotic.
Eating like a champ.

I know about the puppy pads. Funny you should mention that because I thought about those and how would the others react to them, would they try to use them or just bypass and still use the box.

Have you looked at the storage containers that they sell at like WalMart and Target? You can get them really inexpensively there and they have sizes that are really low and long as well. I buy my litter boxes that way, they are durable too.

This is from Target, and is a set of 6 with lids, but I buy them individually and they're under $5.00 each.

They also sell dog litter pans which have a lower front....

I like that dog one too. Dont have a Petco near us but we do have PetSmart. Next time we go up north we will have to check there, unfortunately our PetSmart is 28 miles one way

You can order right on line from PETCO or PETSMART.com also carries them(I think they also do online orders).

Laura,
Do you put litter on the pad so she knows it's ok to potty on that pad?
Inorder to get her used to the pad, would I go ahead put Thumper on the pad when I know she has to go?

I use the pads outside the litter box for Amy and none of the other "girls" have ever used them. I find they are very handy for keeping the tracked litter off of the floor also. Amy just can't judge how bad she has to go verses how many time she will fall over and sometimes she don't even try to go in the box, preferring to use the pads. I'd try the puppy pads if I were you.
