Hi all
Some of you know I am dealing with a new issue with Pipsqueak, but not new to alot of cat owners. Blood in urine, no crystals and normal PH of 6. I don't want to address that here as I have another thread for Pipsqueak. My main concern is the antibiotics and want to be advised of any thing I should be aware of.
Pip was on Baytril for the last two weeks. Finished up Sunday. He still has blood. vet doing xray on Thurs. And his assistant told me if the xray doesn't show stones, more antibiotics!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am VERY worried about Baytril and the threat of blindness. he was fine on the first round, but I don't know if I want him on Baytril again
. Does anyone know of another antibiotic that could be used for his condition? What about that Covenia shot I have heard some of you using for your cats? Would another round of Baytril be too risky?
p.s. Of course, I trust my vet, and will ask him all about these concerns tomorrow, but I wanted to get some feedback from my trusted friends on TCS. I think my vet will also be getting another urine sample to send out to lab to culture and wouldn't that tell us what kind of antibiotic is needed?
Thanks in advance for any info.
