Question
My male gp Emo is very shy and makes a huge thing about being caught once in my arms he will relax and take loads of fuss for ages but I have noticed his bottom is wet when i pick him up is this a problem or is he just wetting himself due to stress of being picked up, he is otherwise healthy and happy thanks.

Answer
Hi Lynn & Emily

Two things are happening here. Firstly, Emo is probably sitting in a part of his house that he has peed.

Secondly, you might be picking him up at a moment he needs to have a pee.

Either way, there is no evidence he is anything other than totally healthy.
