peeing dumbo rat

Question
why does it seem to pee on me every time she walks across me is it marking or does it have a nervous condition or weak bladder? can i train her not to?

Answer
Allow me to explain this,
Well she may be nervous. I doubt its weak bladder. If it is a weak bladder she will not only be peeing on you but everything else and more frequently. If it is a weak bladder take her to your vet and ask for medication. Try this exercise first to be sure its just nervous Peeing.

Trail 1: Sit on the floor with your rat and see if she pees without anything scaring her or getting her over excited. If she is peeing everywhere she possible has a bladder problem.

Trail 2: If she didnt pee on the first trial move to this step. Do the same thing but offer her treats and see if she pees. If so its nervous peeing. If not, Clap your hand and see if she pees. If so it is nervous peeing.


Good Luck!
