Of course, it's a Sunday. And of course, it's easter. I have to wait to take Allen into my parent's vet until tomorrow.
But anyway, I'd been noticing some strange litterbox behavior for the past 2-3 days, and it all came to a head this morning at 5:30. Allen's been acting like he's trouble peeing - he'll go into the litter box, squat, and I'll hear nothing. Normally when he pees it's a big stream, so I can hear it. Then he gets out, walks around, and tries again. Then repeat about 3 times.
He's also dropping down and immediately cleaning his gential area right after he gets out, which is not normal, and I caught him once sitting and dragging himself on the wood floor like a dog does when its butt itches.
This morning he jumps up behind my knees in bed, and after a few seconds I get a bad feeling and I immediately boot him down, and sure enough there's a pee spot. Luckily it didn't soak through and the sheets are in the wash right now. So now I'm watching him pretty closely (we are at my parents' house for the weekend, with their cat and my sister's cat Goose).
UTI or maybe crystals in his urine? Goose has crystals so my sister has him on the special SD food per her vet recommendation. I feel so bad that Allen has to wait until tomorrow to the see my parents' vet, but I will be calling right at 8am and toting him over; luckily my parents' house is literally 3 minutes from the clinic.
Happy easter
