Asking all the new cat mom questions I can because I’m not sure what’s normal.
My big girl Sophia has only been going to the bathroom once every 24-30 hours or so since I got her one month ago. She doesn’t seem to have any difficulty going, no straining, meowing, or repeated visits. No accidents. She just....doesn’t go.
Because she waits so long, the urine clumps are fairly large. She is on a wet food diet with about 1 tsp of water added in per day. I have never seen her drink besides this.
She just had her annual exam and blood work and everything came back fine. Her glucose was elevated to around 180, but since we had to give her 200 ml of Gabapentin to even get the draw, my vet attributed it to stress.
Her appetite is great and she plays several times per day. I just started her on 2 capsules of Cosequin per day to help take the stress off her joints from the weight. Could she just be too lazy to go until she has 2x the reason to visit the box?
