Many for Eden. She is a very special girl, and is so lucky to have you to take care of her.

Well, she pooped a load & a half when she got home. Tomorrow's the big day again. Once again - I have to work so I drop her off in the AM & wait at work for a phone call (and hope the boss doesn't catch me on the phone
). Mom's picking her up for me as I get off work 15 mins after the vet closes.
Any news yet?

OK - the gist of it is this.
No stones.
Yes blood/UTI.
No crystals, pH OK (7.0 I believe)
She's not eating much, but I think that's my fault for feeding her a canned food that didn't sit well with her. We have anti-biotics & anti-nausea meds. X-rays were clear, blood work was clear.

Well, that's sounding hopeful. Keeping the flowing.
that the antibiotics take care of the infection quickly and your girl starts eating well.

It's like Damita all over again - she has to be fed 3-6x a day, small meals - basically whenever she wants. Canned food only.

She's eating again - lightly, but it's eating on her own. Of course - Sheba tins are it. "My" spoiled brat.

that Eden feels better soon Poor sweet girl has been through so much, I hope the vets can find a cure for her soon. She's lucky to have such a dedicated foster mum.
Aww, fingers crossed for her. Does the shelter she is from not pay vets bills when you foster?

Lots of for Eden.
Sounds like she's taking full advantage of having a person willing to spoil her now!

Yes they pay vet bills - when they're willing to do the tests, etc. A cat like Eden comes through the shelter - she would've been euthanized. Too costly to try to save one cat, they just can't afford it.
Ah right - I have to say, I pay a fair few vets bills on certain things.

I hate to say it, but given how little funding there is & how many animals - I've payed for a lot of vet care on animals that weren't my fosters - to give them half a chance.
She ate some dry food on her own today - no more than half a dozen bites of kibble & it took her forever to eat it - but she ate it. She's eating her wet food good, too.

I dont have to go that far, but do spend a fair amount on vets bills each year for fosters. Is it prescription dry, as if not, she shouldn't have dry food while she has urinary issues.
