Soleil peed on our bed today and I initially put it off as a behavioral issue as the cleaner was here at the time. But then I saw her straining to pee for about 3-5 minutes at a time in the garden and in the litterboxes. She was also in lots of discomfort when pooping (very vocal and straining), and when I tried to carry her she was nearly screaming when she normally doesn't make a sound.
So I brought her to the vet and noticed bloody (slimy) discharge coming from her bottom (not sure whether from her bum or her vag area). The vet examined her and told me he cannot find anything in the bladder, but I forgot to ask him what he meant by that. It was the last appointment, they had overrun and I felt like they were keen to see me go.
They gave her an anti-biotic shot and a oral treatment for pain relieve and anti-inflammatory (package says post surgery?).
So just wanted to hear your experiences. I am particularly worried about the bleeding and the pain she obviously is feeling when I carry her? Is that normal for a UTI?
Is there anything I need to consider on top of the medication I got (bearing in mind I have 2 cats). And how long does it normally take to get better? When we got home she was straining again with little bit of pee coming out.
