OK, as an update to my recent posts, I just got the test results from the vet office a little while ago and was told Skylar has crystals. The tech told me that he won't need surgery but will need to start a prescription diet of food that I can buy from the vet. Oh wise cat people, please give me...

Last time I took him for this they ran all the same tests and he came back negative for crystals, he just had a UTI. Is there anything that I could possibly have in my home that could cause this? Could it be the cat litter? The vet also said that in worse case scenario a brain tumor could cause...

Hey. Well, I just got back from the vet. They didn't have the tests back from the lab yet so they let me take Skylar home and I will call in the morning. Cloudshade, I printed out your ideas to bring with me so I could ask the vet questions. Basically he said without the test results he really...

Hey everyone, I hardly come to this site but I am at a loss as to what to do. Skylar appears to have ANOTHER UTI. This is like the 3rd or 4th one in a year. Last night he squated, scratched and peed in front of me on the bath rug. He did it again this morning so I bought him to the vet today...

Hey! Well Skylar seems to be doing much better. I called the vet and his urine sample came back negative for anything. They said that I could always bring him in for an ultrasound but I am going to hold off until he finishes the antibiotic completely. Afterall, he has only been on it since...

Oh wow, since I posted this a little while ago, I noticed Skylar squat on the floor and there was a small puddle of blood!!! I am really nervous now!! I am thinking of staying home from work tommorrow to follow up!!!!

My male cat, Skylar, has a UTI. I took him to the vet and started his antibiotic on Monday. He has had this condition before and this is the second time it's come back. I have taken him to a more helpful and thorough vet however, this time around. So my question now is how long till the UTI...
