Any ideas why she is licking her self so much?

Miss Molly May · 01-14-2012, 01:09 PM

Hi Molly has been at her genital for close to a week now and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of why she might be doing this?

We checked her numerous times(daily) and everything seems to be fine.
Nothing changed in her diet, routines,.....
We are going to the vet on Monday if there is no improvement
If anyone has any suggestions please help

Is she going into heat?

Possible UTI?

Check for UTI. It hurts when they pee so they'll lick more.

Thank I looked up UTI it symptoms did not mention excessive licking but it did mention that darker urine was a sign. Last week her urine was pretty dark for a day or to but is fine now.

A easy way to get a urine sample is a ladle when she squats...then pour into a plastic cup.

Will I need to bring in a urine sample to the vet?

I never thought of this but my wife reminded me that she also been dragging her bum on and floor from time to time

It would probably be easier to collect the urnine at home then bring to the office. Try to get a sample as close to the visit as possible and store in the fridge until you leave.

If someone would please confirm proper storage.
