Weeing & bathing back end U/D Post 3

Radish seems to have started peeing everywhere in her cage rather than the litter tray. She is also peeing outside her cage but not to the same extent.

I will be taking her to the vets on tuesday as she is also thumping alot which I believe to be her hormones but I feel the weeing thing needs checking out. Could it be a uti?

Also because she has peed on her plastic house and then sat in it she has a smelly back end but it isn't wet. I want to bathe her back end to keep her clean but would like some tips on how to do this as she can be quite grumpy and difficult to hold.

Thanks

p.s. She is being spayed on 15th January.

Just to update on this that yesterday and today radish seems to be back to her normal litterbox habits and behaviour.

I bathed her yesterday and she is now all clean.

I am beginning to think this was a hormonal episode as it was accompanied by a big change in behaviour including honking and feet circling.

I will be calling the vets tomorrow to try to bring her spay forward to as soon as possible.
