==General Aspects of Investigation of Housesoiling Cases==
===Medical assessment===
Medical factors are very important in housesoiling and [[marking problems]]. Certain conditions are directly involved in the generation and maintenance of behavioural problems, whilst others are contributory in an indirect sense ''[see box].''
The medical workup must include:
* Medical history
* Clinical examination – including abdominal palpation
* Urinalysis
* Assessment of mobility, cognitive function and sensory perception
* Further investigation through haematology, biochemistry or imaging techniques
If a case is to be referred to a non-veterinary behaviourist, it is essential to rule out any potential underlying or contributory medical factor.
