I took Midnight to the vet today mainly to have his eyes checked, because they were watery and 1 was dripping. This was a different vet because my vet is on vacation. I mentioned to her my concerns about Midnight having a UTI.
Midnight is 4 months old, she said she didn't think it's a UTI because she said Midnight is to young. She did test for it, and did give us an antibiotic to give him which would clear up the UTI if he has 1, also it would clear up the cold he's got.
She was more concerned about Midnight having a kidney problem. She did an x-ray, and his kidney's are fine.
But she showed us that something is wrong with Midnight's esophagus. It's enlarged and she didn't know why. She said she's never seen this before. She asked about any digestive problems. I told the only time he ever threw up is when we gave him tuna, and he hasn't had tuna since. He hiccups after every meal. He's done that since he was 3 weeks old. She wouldn't tell us how serious this is or isn't. She is going to send the x-ray to a vet who specialist, and we'll get a call with the results of what this is.
Has anyone else ever heard of this? Or have a cat with this?
Also another disturbing thing. Our original vet never tested Midnight for FIV or Leukemia! If he did he never put it in Midnight's records! We paid for him to have that test, and that vet even showed us the device that tells whether it's positive or negative.
I told that to this vet. I even described the device that I saw. She said she wasn't familiar with it, and didn't know what I was talking about. She showed me Midnight's records. The FIV and Leukemia test was missing.
I had to pay for it to be done again. I had to sit and worry even more this time. Worried that he did have leukemia and that would have been what

died of. I kept imagining having to lose both Midnight and Luna now as well. Luckily the test came back negative Midnight is fine there.
