Hi Every one
This is my first post.
We have 2 cats &1 dog. Buffy(23llbs & 6yrs old) has been pooing and peeing on the carpet upstairs. We tried changing the cat litter tray, got rid of the auto matic one, thinking it might of given hime a fright, and also put a tray down stairs but to no avail, We took him to the vets today to rule out UTI. The vet took urine and blood samples, we will get the results back tomorrow. The vet also took X-rays to see if there were any blockages or kidney stones which maybe causing the problem.Everything was fine, but the vet told me that Buffy has a herniated disk and must be in some discomfort. I asked him what signs to look for he said, pain on getting up ,limping, hard to walk. I then told him that the cats have their own table that they have to jump on to get their food ( we have a dog remember
), also Buffy likes to sleep on the back of the sofa which he has to jump on, he has to climb 15 stairs to the litter box or in his case the carpet,He also runs around and plays with ease, I just don't think that he is in pain . Has any one else had experience with this and how bad was it, Am I starting to worry to much? I tried an internet search, but couldn't find much about it, Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
Colleen
