Hi!
I took my cat to the vet today and she was diagnosed with a bladder/kidney infection. I thought this was strange because she doesn't have what I thought were the typical symptoms. 2 days ago she lost her appetite completely (she loves to eat). Then she started vomiting. She vomited up a couple leaves from a non toxic Areca Palm plant - so I thought maybe that was the problem, but she continued to vomit throughout the day and was only throwing up water. She also seemed very sluggish, so I took her in.
She has no fever. They tested her blood as well as doing another test - bio(something or other). Bloodwork was all normal. The other test showed a high percentage of something in her urine (maybe?) so the vet concluded it was some kind of bladder or kidney infection. Sorry I don't remember all the test details. Does this seem right? I thought UTI infections in cats caused frequent urination - not vomiting. I'm starting her on antibiotics today - just wanted some extra advice as to whether or not this all sounds right. Thanks for any help!
