Hi,
My 7 year old Domestic Short Hair has been somewhat off toilet wise for the last 3 days. She has what seems to be a bout of Cystitis. She was straining a lot on the first day, and also pooping a lot. In the last couple of days she sometimes pees normally, and then straight afterwards sometimes repeatedly visits the tray and strains some more out. She will also frequently poops during those bouts (like 3 separate times in 1 1/2 hours). However sometimes she pees normally, if a bit slowly, and that's it. Even when she's peeing normal amounts she's going far more often than the usual twice a day. On the first day she also stood up and looked like she was peeing against a door, but didn't, but on the 2nd day she did stand and pee against the door, and there was blood in the urine. Now she has had Cystitis 2 or 3 times before, and there was blood then too. The vet also told me b efore (during the last bout of Cystitis) that it wasn't too much to worry about in females, and usually clears itself up. However, both of these times she was taken straight to the vet and medicated. This time unfortunately I can't afford to take her to the vet until around the 12th. I've tried ringing our local vet, but they will only take cash on appointment, and refused to help. The is a PDSA (vet charity) hospital about 10 miles away, but as I haven't a car, and had to move away from everyone we knew about 4 years ago, the only way to get her there is via 2 buses, which will stress her out no end (she hates going to our local vet that is a 5 minute taxi ride away). What should I do?
