Compulsive scratching

Posted on 2008/01/31 by shep shepard

Gillian

She is scratching over and over on newspapers (shredding then into strips) and bed cover. She has always done this ocassionally, but now she seems to be doing it every hour or so. Also, she seems to be urinating just a little on the shredded paper. She is also using the litter box, which I clean 2X/day. Do I need to take her to a vet?
