Possible UTI

Vibes please, Jack has been acting alittle off the last couple days--crying for no reason, like sitting out in the hall and just crying. I thought maybe it was just the stress of the move and have been watching him like a hawk. I'm praising God today that we kept their litter box in our bedroom as this morning while still in bed I heard him cry while pottying. Off to the vet we go at 6. Doesn't appear to be straining--or going frequently. I have noticed that compared to Harley he pees a bigger amount. What could that be?

If he pees in abnormally large amounts, that can mean his urine isn't concentrating like it should be. That can point to the kidneys. Or it could just mean he drinks more than your other baby. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing! Hopefully it's something minor and an easy fix. Let us know!

Well they sure know how to piss Jack off (the shots), and piss me off (about diet that is) but anyway Jack got a steriod injection and is on antibiotics for 10 days, to see dr a week from today for check. Jack may not feel better but I sure do.

Dr felt his bladder, no sensitivities and felt small. Asked about urination. I said he was going in normal amounts and normal number of times just cried this morning when in the litter box. Dr thinks UTI may be stress related d/t the move. I agreed with his thoughts on antibiotics etc, but not on a medicated/RX diet.

"I don't recommend a raw diet, No vet really recommends a raw diet, its really such a fad diet, lots of risk for worms and parasites" all I hear is blah blah blah

hope your cat gets well soon
