Everyone on this forum has always been so helpful, so I'm going to ask another question. I posted a few weeks ago about my cat Lola and the fact that she was expelling a lot of liquid from her anal glands. It turned out to be a urinary infection and thankfully she is all better now. However, my other cat Winston is starting to act weird. First I noticed last week that he had diarrhea. I was really concerned because Lola had diarrhea at first when she got sick. I took him to the vet and they said there was no bacteria in his stool and they gave him something called forta flora to fix his stool. He's been taking it for a little less than a week and his stools are solid now, but I noticed he started to drink a lot more water than usual. He doesn't do it the whole day, but yesterday I watched him go back and forth to his water bowl 6 times in an hour. For the most part he plays and eats like normal, but if he happens to notices his dish of water he goes back an forth until he gets distracted again. This has happened two days in a row. My vet said to just watch his urine, but this is hard to do. Both of my cats get really upset when they are locked in different rooms. Winston gets especially upset and pretty much refuses to use the litter when I have tried to do this in the past. He has like a panic attack. He's a very nervous kitty and does not like change.
Anyway, my questions are could his water intake be a sign of a urinary infection? Could he have caught this from Lola? I'm just really confused and concerned by the fact that both my cats have gotten sick within a few weeks of each other. Also, do you have any tips of how to keep a cat seperate from another cat without making them sicker?
