My cat is a little over a year old, male, and has recently started having urinary problems. Straining to urinate with only small drops of urine left behind, bloody urine, constantly in the litter box trying to go. When I first noticed it I rushed him into the ER vet overnight. They did an ultrasound and urinalysis and did not find any stones, crystals, bacteria or blockages. Nothing. Just a ton of blood in the urine. We sent home after a fluid injection with some antibiotics and pain medication. He seemed much better for about a week (I'm assuming from the fluids, diluting his urine and pushing everything out) but then I found blood on the floor and he was dripping around the house for the first time ever. I brought him into my vet for an urgent appointment and they did blood work and checked urine. Blood is perfect and again, no crystals, stones or bacteria in his urine. The vet sent us home with some homeopathic pills and told me to completely remove dry food from his diet and give wet food exclusively (I give Canidae grain-free). Is there anything else I can do? He's having so much trouble and I imagine it must be painful for him. Has anyone been through this before? Any advice? Thanks in advance!!
