About a month ago my 11 y/o (F, spayed) cat had an urinalysis + steroid shot. She'd been struggling to pee and my vet told me her bladder was only slightly inflamed. They didn't find any crystals and since her senior wellness test back/ bloodwork in February deemed her perfectly healthy my vet wasn't overly concerned. At the time my cat was also dealing with horrible constipation (which has since passed with prescribed GI food) and the vet suggested it could be due to stress/idiopathic. The steroids worked and the kitty was back to peeing ~3-4 times a day.
Fast forward, the past 4 days my cat's been going ~4-5 sometimes even 6 times a day in smaller amounts (I'd say about 1-2 golfball size pees per trip). Do these look like normal amounts? (excuse my shoddy pics - the 2nd is 2 clumps pictured)
I'm a little concerned but she doesn't seem to be in any kind of distress whatsoever. Back in August I'd see her hop in every 20 minutes, jump in and do nothing, lick her crotch, and yowl - none of which she's doing right now. I don't see any blood either. What worries is me is the frequency of her trips... (yesterday she went to pee after breakfast, and went back in 3 hours later (unusual) but was fine the next 6). Since I don't believe she's peeing excessive amounts I'm not sure if this is an issue... normally I'd ask my vet but she's currently out of town.
I'm kind of a hypochondriac when it comes to my cats and have brought them to the vet for absolutely no reason several times *face palm* so would really appreciate a 2nd opinion
