title: Feline inappropriate elimination.
abstract: Cases involving inappropriate elimination can be treated successfully through careful diagnosis, identification of causative factors, and development of an appropriate treatment plan. Veterinarians can provide a valuable service to their clients through case workups, educational information, and timely referrals. Normal elimination and marking behavior and causative factors involved in inappropriate elimination cases are reviewed. Treatments, including behavior modification techniques and drug therapy suggestions, also are included in this article.
