We took Bubba in for his annual exam last week and he must have just urinated before we woke up and took him in, b/c they couldn't get any themselves. So the vet suggested shredding newspaper in a clean litterbox, which wouldn't absorb the urine and using the syringe to suck it up. Poor Bubba held it in for hours. He refused to use the box and would go to the box and meow. I wasn't going to let him suffer, so I put down his regular box with litter and he went for what seemed to be an eternity! Anyway, I called the vet back and the receptionist (or whoever) said to give it another try. No way am I going to make him suffer like that. Plus, we both work full time and it's impossible to time it all. So I called back today and lied and told them I tried again to no avail. I asked her if we could just bring him in one eve so they can collect it. After putting me on hold, b/c apparently I asked her a very difficult question, she told me to go out and get non-absorbent litter and try that. ME? I've read that the vet should carry it. She rushed me off the phone.
This was a new vet visit and I'll probably be looking for a new one for a couple of other reasons. She mentioned a brand called "Good News?" I don't care about what brand it is, but is non-absorbent litter easy to find? I have petco, pemsmart, and lots of smaller shops near me. Any other ideas?
