Yeah, I'm positive that it's when she urinates. Ever since this
started I've been watching her like a hawk. (not to mention that she
likes to poop under my desk, so I watch her when she looks like
she's hunting for a spot.) Like I said, at first I thought it was
the deficating and gas, but the more and more I watched her I saw
when she just urinated she whined and then if she deficated and
didn't urinate (Yes, I watching that closely - yuck) she didn't make
a sound. She also had an ultrasound that came back normal. I'm at a
total loss and so is my vet. I hatge to have her in pain.

Thanks for the help!
