1005127 Bailey Boy. My "problem child." :-)
Bailey has been having "litter box issues" AGAIN! ( both ways, with spraying, and pooping as well)
He has been investigated for this issue and it was deemed psychological. I have had to stop his CLOMICALM med. as the person who will be living here with them when I am on vacation, can't tell jake apart from Bailey. They both hide from her as well. I will restart it in 3 weeks upon my return from vacation. We had "poop and spraying" issues last night and again today.
He does have separation anxiety and got a glimpse of the suitcase. That may have set him off. For the poop issues outside the box, he has occasional constipation and the Vet thinks he associates pain with the box at times. He also has what humans may deem OCD qualities. He obsessively opens all the cupboards, as he goes by them with his paw. He is also on Biocalm a liquid Pheromone treatment that is mixed in his food.
I have even put SCAT spray cans around his "favorite" places but then he just changes them. His place of choice lately has been my bedroom, hanging or standing items, such as my laundry hamper. He even sprayed on my camera battery charger container and cord. I think it is now ruined.
Well thanks for letting me vent. I feel badly and helpless for Bailey as he must be feeling terrible anxiety.
Jake does NONE of this. So hard to believe they are brothers. Such completely different personalities. Like people I guess.
