Weeing literally everywhere?

Pippin is unspayed and is due to be spayed in the next 3-4 weeks. She's 9 months old and until about a month ago and did her wee and most poo in one place. She now wees absolutely everywhere. I understand about hormones and marking her territory etc but she never used to do this even when she was over 6 months (reached sexual maturity etc.)

She's getting dirty, wet paws from standing in the wee and I've noticed now she's getting a dirty tummy from it :( I'm hoping when she's spayed it will stop but could this be a different problem?

Edit: I always clean her paws and clean up the mess as regularly as I can to avoid anywhere getting sore etc.

Was Pippin unwell a while back :?

When she was very young she had an abscess but the only other thing I can think of that is more recent is that she produced some random soft stools and that was all fixed with Fibreplex. She's been perfectly fine for a while now and still is completely herself.
 
I would get the Vet to take a look at her. Whilst it may just be hormonal issues there are certain health problems that can cause loss of litter tray training. It is impossible to rule anything in or out without a full examination.

Hopefully it is just her being a messy adolescent and that her spay will mean she returns to her previous weeing habits :)

I'd be more worried if she was fully litter trained before. She always did everything apart from a few stray poos in one corner of her hutch but very occasionally did a wee in her run etc. I will get her checked over. I really hope so too, thanks for your help.
