Question
My almost 2 year old female jack has finished her heat about 2 weeks ago. this is her third one with no problems.about a week ago i noticed she seems to not pee as much as she usually did. i bring her out first thing in the morning and she has no intrest in peeing till the afternoon. i check around the house but there are no accidents.she is also more cuddly and calm. is this normal or should i be worried

Answer
Hi Jillian,

Make sure she is drinking water -  if this continues you should bring her to the veterinarian to be checked for a urinary tract infection.  It hurts to urinate so they don't drink and don't want to pee.  Always to be better safe than sorry, good luck!
