Hi Tabatha, I recommend that you take him into see a veterinarian. Urinating outside of the litter box can be caused by many different things. This includes a urinary tract infection, bladder stones, a behavioral issue, inflammation of the bladder, or something more serious like kidney disease or diabetes. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of this after they have examined him. They may recommend some lab tests to help diagnose or rule out certain causes. The treatment that he needs will depend on the underlying cause of his symptoms. If he is not able to urinate you need to take him into see a veterinarian immediately as this can be life threatening.
