I have a 6 yr old male, named Merlin, that has been neutered. Earlier this year he started peeing everywhere. He was a feral rescue and has only been to the vet twice in his life - 1st checkup and neuter. (He sliced a tech's palm open on the last visit & it's an ordeal getting him in a carrier) Anyway, Feb. 22I took a urine sample in to be tested and was given clavamox & methigel to give him. Did that and he seemed fine until this past week. He started peeing again and I took a sample in this morning. The vet wants me to bring him in tomorrow for further testing, including x-rays. I asked for help deciphering the urinalysis results & didn't get much info. The receptionist knew a little but not enough for me. I called the vet and he just said there was infection. (He was in x-ray and had the message relayed & said we'd discuss it tomorrow)
I need help with understanding this. If any of you could help, it would be great. I'll include the results from February too.
