Enzo is a 9yo neutered male.
He usually urinates 1-2 fairly larged size pieces of pee per day. Lately, for the past week or so, his pee is in small pieces. It is still clumped but the pieces are small, maybe 1.5-2" big and there are always several of them.
There is also usually a pee ball but only 1/2 it's normal size. There have been no litter changes and the same thing is happening in both litter boxes (he has 2).
I am concerned that this means he is starting and stopping when he's peeing. He's completely normal otherwise, no inappropriate urination (he has peed on the couch before when he had a UTI) and he's not crying out or going in and out of the litter box frequently.
Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this? Should I take him to the vet for a urinalysis? I would hate to do it if it isn't necessary as he gets very stressed when it's vet time. Thank you!
