I noticed this morning that my 1.5 year old female cat, Stella, was having trouble urinating. She kept going to her box, little or nothing would come out, and she'd scratch around at her litter, lick her rear end, and resume her normal activities. A little while later, she'd return to the box and repeat the process. Thankfully, I was able to get her in to our vet clinic very shortly after because I have heard enough horror stories to be quite fearful of such issues. Vet felt her and tried to get urine out, but said that her bladder was empty. The vet said that it's possible that she's uncomfortable urinating, so she's only going a little bit at a time. It's also possible that she peed a more significant amount when I wasn't looking before we left. Either way, I left her there for them to take a sample and perform an urinalysis.
Vet called me later in the afternoon, and confirmed that she has a mild infection. She administered a Convenia antibiotics shot to help with the infection, but after doing some reading I'm somewhat nervous about the side effects of the drug
Wish I would have looked into it before it was administered. She said to keep monitoring her litter box habits and urine output to make sure that things improve, and if not to bring her back in.
So, what else should I do for her? She's eating an all canned diet, mostly grain free.
