Hi everybody. I have done some reading here and it is very helpful. And I have followed the guidelines for this problem. Mine might be a little different though.
I have an 8 year old scottish fold in a house with 4 other cats. He has had lots of medical issues in his life. And the last year or so he has been getting twice weekly fluids to compensate for his failing kidneys. So far so good although he is getting problematic over allowing that.
In the last couple weeks we began to notice one of the cays was peeing around the house. Like near the food bowls. Or on the mat my wife stands on in front of the cooktop. Or in our shower. And it isn't marking it is peeing. He has also missed the letterbox.
We took him to the vet (thank you for $300 to find out he might have a UTI) and they gave him a shot of antibiotics. But it isn't really making any difference that we can tell.
His overall health and this behavioral issue has my wife at wits end and it might be the end of him if we can't resolve it soon. Is this a natural progression for kidney disease? Is there something we might have missed?
Thanks and thanks for the forum.
