Hi Tom,

Defecating/urinating and even vomitting are all defensive behaviors when the monitor is stressed or in a situation it is uncomfortable with - my 6'2" female white throat used to defecate ~ 3 quarts of crap on me without fail for years although she was dog tame, and totally fine is all regards, until I picked her up, she she fired her salvo onto my person in catholic fashion...consistantly faithful in her actions for me to put her down. So with time hopefully it will relax its cloacal muscles abit and calm down - give it time, and try to avoid handling it whenever possible...
good luck,
mbayless
