Just like humans, when animals get old, they become more prone to declining health, and degenerative conditions. One of the most common issues faced by senior animals is their inability to hold their pee or poop. In addition, as animals get old, the risk of them getting sick which causes elimination problems also increases.
For this reason, it is highly important for pet owners to be more considerate and mindful of their pet’s condition, especially during their senior years. This is when regular vet consults are helpful so the vet can check if your pet’s health is still in good standing.
The most common reasons why your pet may not be able to control his bowel or pee are the following:
●Kidney failure
●Diabetes and excessive thyroid productions
●Anxiety, stress, or trauma
●Bowel diseases
●Disease or infection of the urinary tract
Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with your veterinary hospital San Diego, CA to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue.
