Hi there - I recently posted about my cat having severe diarrhea for about a month 1/2. I finally got it under control via diet and she's taking steriod pills 2X a day. Now her stools are normal (hooray!
)
However, when this mess started, she stopped using her litter box for her #2. she goes next to her box in the bathroom corners and if those are full, she goes in the living room in the corners of the room. I read on the web that it has to do with her associating the box with her diarrhea.
So now that her stools are normal again, how can I retrain her to use the litter box? She just goes on each side of the box but not in the box.
Her stools have only been normal about 5 days so maybe give her more time? Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you!
