You know that saying "When it rains, it pours"? Well, that's what is happening here...both of my furkids are feeling a little under the weather.
Echo has been having some issues with her bum again lately (scooting on the floor & now the skin is red and irritated) & Tiki started urinating on the couch again (thats the first sign that she's got a bladder infection). For the most part, they're still spunky as ever but at times I can tell they just don't feel the greatest. Tiki's been acting super strange lately. She's been going up to different doors in the apartment, yowling like she's gone mad & then she'll take off running. I don't know if the UTI & this are related to each other, but regardless she's going to get checked out just in case. Actually both the girls are going to the Vet on Wednesday, so that'll be interesting having both cats at the Vet at the same time. Plus, we're going to a new Vet to boot! I really wanted to take them to the All Feline Hospital, but the place never would answer their phone! So, I did a little searching & I found a nice place just down the street from us. They specialize in dogs and cats, so I have faith that they have knowledge of what is happening to my babies. I had a good gut feeling when I talked to them on the phone & usually thats a sign for me. I'm praying that they'll take excellent care of them!

I know first hand how wonderful this board is about generating such awesome vibes, could you all spare a few for my babies? I just worry so much about getting a good vet since I've had some horrific experiences in the past. Luckily this place has 4 Vets in their clinic, so if one doesn't know there are other people to give advice.
Thanks a million!

Sending positive vibes that they get better real soon.


Also have them check the Anal Glands on the one that is scooting.

Thanks Guys!
I truly appreciate the prayers and good vibes!

I'll be calling the vet again today while at work...maybe they can get little Tiki in today. Last night before I went to bed, I seen that she urinated on my bed. Granted, I was upset that I had to change my linens before I could go to sleep, but the scary part of it was that there was a slight hint of blood in the urine! I've never seent that before, so I'm scared about that! Please keep my little girl in your thoughts today!
Thanks again!

No such luck for todays appointment.
She just looks like she doesn't feel good, but still spunky enough for a quick wrestle with Echo. I haven't found any poddy spots just today...so I'm hoping that there isn't any blood in it if I do find one. It wasn't much, but the urine was definitely a more orangish red color. My sweet baby...I have her so many hugs and kisses when I came home today from work. I finally got the hint that she was tired of them when she gave me that evil eyed look.
Hopefully in a few days, she'll be back to her old self again!

Thank you all for the thoughts, prayers and vibes! Tiki thanks to you!

Thank you all!


Well, I took the girls in today & unfortunately Tiki is still there. She refused to give him a urine sample & I'm now waiting until they call me to pick her up.
We discussed how we may have to do an ultrasound on her & he was very concerned that she has had so many in the past year. We'll be changing both of their foods very soon & that will be a difficult task for all of us. Echo hasn't lost any weight after all (she looked it to me!)...she right at 20 pounds. He wants her to start a special food that can not be free fed & Tiki shouldn't eat it either. He wants her to start a different kind of food but it just depends on the exact problems with her urine. He told me that I should fed them seperately & once or twice per day. He said that it's ok to just feed them once a day, but that just seems so little for them to eat. I don't like the fact that they'll be hungry all the time!
As for the Vet, Dr Bryan was super!

Oh shoot...the vet just called & Tiki just gave them a sample! YAY! I'll write more when I get home!
