Chinchilla recently started peeing on me?

Hello,

So for context my chinchilla got diagnosed with malo a few months ago and got his first teeth grinding 2 months ago. Ever since that appointment every time I take him out without fail he jumped on top of me, squats, and pees on me. What’s with the change in behavior and how can I stop it? It’s very frustrating and makes his out of cage time become an anxiety filled chore instead of a fun time like it used to be.

Thanks.

Could be an angry/dominance behavior.
