Sam, I hope she recovers quickly. We all worry about our babies, you're not crazy or paranoid cause you were upset.

Cheers Kellye!

I e-mailed my friend before we took her to the vets and got this reply she really knows her cats,

Hi Sam,
Very quickly as I have to go and have my hair cut, but I am sure your girl has cystitis, has she been calling.
It is no where naer as serious in females as it is in males but she will need to go on anti biotics and another table called aciduric.
Don't worry too much I am sure she will be fine with treatment. Keep her very warm. You may have to put her alson on a special dry food PH manufactured by Waltham lab in the UK and distributed by Whiskas.
Love Cheryle.


Thank you to everyone!

Ok 30 minutes ago I rang the vets they put me on hold for 5 minutes and they said they were keeping a really close eye on her but she hasn't urinated yet so they couldn't let her go home, as i said we hav had cats with this before and they normally 'make' them go to get a sample but they are not doing this with her, My friend had a black exotic and he had the same problem(but it's a bit more serious with males) and they didn't make him pee and 2 days later he dropped dead b'cause of kidney failure, this is really frightning and I can't get her till the morning


I think I need some more vibes!
thanks love from sam & furfriends

Dropped dead?? that's crazy!!! can't they get a catheter in them? If only to empty the bladder?

Hello.

The vet didn't ring me last night about her condition, they said if I hadn't heard from them by the morning I was to ring them, I'm going to ring them in 7 minutes.

Dropped dead?? that's crazy!!! can't they get a catheter in them? If only to empty the bladder?

Yes, I know Tamme it's so crazy, they left poor Bumpkin un supervised and didn't stick a catherter in him, it was very sad, he was everyone's babey!

Thanks everyone for the hugs, vibes . I will let you know in (now) 5 minutes, I'm really nervous. I hope she's ok!!!!


Samantha.

I have just got off the phone to the Vets Nurse and she said Sophie had slept in her litter-box, where they were trying to get the urine sample from and pee'd on her bedding so they couldn't get a urine sample, I'm going to ring them at 2:00 pm to see what the situation is , it's 8:10 now. They said she really wanted to escape from the cage
, Hopefully she comes home soon!

Sam.

I knew dogs got them, but I didn't know cats did. I was just reading this and I realized that that is what my cat had about a year ago. At the time I didn't know why she was running to the litter box every five minutes. I thought that she was constipated, but now I know what it really was. I did take her to the vet and they put her on anti-biotics. She got better, but was always able to pee. It wasn't that bad. I was really scared for her at the time. My thought are on you, so keep us posted. It can be scary, but not every cat dies because of it. I actually didn't know how serious it was at the time.
