Conikat, I WISH I could give shots at least he would keep those down. We live in Colorado, so they are consulting colorado state, which is a very good hospital. I am very worried about his uti spreading to other organs. .. can cats become septic??

We havent tried that yet. My vet is consulting a vet teaching hospital today (csu) to see if they have any ideas

I've tried giving it on an empty stomach and he still vomits... just the pill/ liquid and stomach juices. I saw an injection form too, but I don't think they could get a kitty size dosage. The only other med that his infection is not resistant to is an antineoplastic drug that is not safe for...

So Sam has a UTI. He had been taking Clavamox mixed with food beautifully. His culture came back positive for strep though, which is resistant to EVERYTHING. The doctor prescribed trimethoprim sulfa. I mixed the pill into his food and it immediately caused projectile vomiting. Thus began the...

So just an update- Sam's culture came back and he has non heamolytic strep in his urine (no idea where that came from since he is an indoor only child). Anyway, it is pretty much resistant to almost anything and we have just now found an antibiotic to treat it. He is doing much better and is...

The increased drinking can be related to the RC food- it makes your cat drink more, diluting the urine. I would talk to your very before switching food- some kitties are very prone to crystals and even an all wet, grain free diet will not work.

They did an xray and ultrasound the first time, he came home on pain med, antibiotics and antispasmodics the first time as well as this time. My current vet and I also agree that it is super perplexing that three weeks later, he has stones and a ton of bacteria in his urine when he was clean...

My little guy just had his second bout of blockage. After the first, we switched to an all wet, grain free Weruva diet with no fish flavors. However, three weeks later he went back for a blockage so it was not enough. He just got home last night and is now on the Royal Canin Urinary SO wet and...

Little Sam came home last night! I am waking up every two hours to assess his urine formation (he has been going small, frequent amounts, but he is going!) His urine pH was 8.5 with struvite crystals and we are awaiting the culture results still. What is odd is that three weeks ago when this...

Like Stephen Q said, pet insurance will not cover exams and do not cover preexisting conditions. When I adopted Sam (4yrs old) in August, the humane society had a thirty day free trial of Trupanion with the ability to start the insurance right away. With Trupanion, the monthly premium is based...

I have read about mixing apple cider vinegar in food, but was worried he would just turn his nose up to it (he is very picky with wet food). I have not read anything about it topically. Do you happen to have any links?? That seems like it is worth a shot!

I just posted about my little guy having the same problem! I switched to an all wet diet and a month later, he obstructed again (he is actually in the hospital now ). This time, my vet is suggesting I switch to Royal Canin urinary SO. I does have a wet variety and also a moderate calorie...

My little guy is getting a stocking with toys and treats. I also got him a heated bed... which I was so excited about that I gave it to him early! He loves it and I know exactly where to find him when I come home from work!

So about a month ago, my cat Sam (whom I adopted in August) started having difficulty urinating and began hiding under the bed. We took him to urgent care (it was 1 am) and we found out he had a blockage. They told us he had no crystals and started him on antibiotics while they awaited the urine...

I just adopted my cat Sam in August. He is a little chunker and 4 yrs old. My vet didn't recommend any type of food, but gave me a calorie count based on his weight and his goal weight. I went with Weruva because it is grain free and low in calories so that he can still have the volume of food...
