First: we have a vet appointment scheduled. However, it's a new vet who we don't know, so we're trying to get an idea about what to expect.
Our 18 year old female, Patches, has been going to the litterbox a lot. She does pee a little, but it seems to be painful. My parents said she's gone 10 times in 45 minutes. (She goes in the litterbox every time; such a tidy girl!)
I suggested a UTI, but she's on wet food only and does drink water daily (she insists upon the birdbath water). What else could she have? Kidney stones?
Also, how will they diagnose her? Will they only run blood tests, or other procedures typical? None of my cats have had this kind of problem before, so we're not sure what to expect.
Thanks!
