Hello my savannah loving friends!!
We brought home our 2 new babies 10 days ago. F2 male siblings. They have been in isolation together in a bathroom adjacent to our bedroom. After the 3rd day we noticed one of the kittens straining and a little spasmodic trying to urinate. We observed closely and could tell that he was having a hard time and then outside the box or inside wherever he would let loose a full bladder. We assumed possibly a UTI so took him to the vet for a culture sample and other tests. All tests were negative but the problem has persisted. One night he just let loose more urine than a kitten should possibly have in its tiny body while playing on our bed. Barely 20 feet from the box.
Fast forward to today. The other kitten just did the same thing. I was playing with him and watched him go into his box and he sat there for at least 2-3 minutes and when he hopped out there was nothing. 10 minutes later he was playing with his brother and I watched him squat so I went over and picked him up to take him to his box and the kitten just let loose peeing everywhere as I was carrying him.
Could this be a behavioral issue? Could it be a genetic flaw?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
