Hi, I am new to this forum, I posted in another section earlier but have had no response. I have a 4 year old cat named flash, my husband does not believe that you take your animals to the vet until they get sick and unfortunately flash did just that yesterday. I took her to the vet for the first time in 4 years and she did not like it at all. They went to examine her and she did okay for just a little while and then she did not want them messing with her anymore. The Dr. in turn told me in order for him to determine what was wrong with her they would need to sedate her, I not knowing what else to do let them. She did in fact have a UTI and when she woke up she has been mad ever since.
Yesterday I thought if I just left her alone she would get over it, after taking 3 people to get her out of her kitty carrier, she sat by the door and growled at us all night but just was mad. This morning when I woke up she was sitting on the coffee table and came into the kitchen with me, she started out fussing at me and that quickly turned to aggression, she started hissing, growling and screaming at me at the top of her lungs. I jumped up on the cabinet and distracted her so I could get out of the kitchen, then she was in one end of the house holding me off and I was in the other end crying and trying to get away from her. I put her food out and thought if I just left her alone that maybe she would rest and be better when I got home. My husband got home first and she let him pet her and hold her, but just as soon as I came in the door and spoke to her she started all over again, hissing and growling and backing me out of the room.
Right now I have her locked in one room and bedroom with her food and litter. The vet that I took her too said if she does not improve in the next few days I may have to have animal control come and get her and put her down, I don't want to even think about doing that. I got the cat when I lost my son and she has been my best friend when I did not have anyone else, please help me I don't know what to do. Could the valium that they sedated her be doing this or is she mad or has it changed her for good, I am heart broken please help me.
Thanks,
lisa
