I am pretty bummed about not having an appointment that included a conversation with a vet. Wouldn't most vets assume pooping outside the box is litter box related? If I'm not asked any questions about our litter box cleaning routine and such, how is that possibility eliminated? Will blood, urine, and fecal tests for sure give an answer... assuming Lucy's issue is not litter box related?
It sure does stink taking a pet to the vet... not being able to explain. Her little face just kept looking at me, as if to say "why?" The soft mews (not her norm)... it all just breaks my heart.
