Lab results came back! I'm taking this poor child off the antibiotics, thank GOODNESS. I've never been so excited about food time to just be able to give him his wet food like "Yeah! That's it! Just your yummy food, that's all you need now."
Bloodwork says his kidney and liver are A-OK, and no hyperthyroidism. Slightly high cholesterol but she said she wasn't worried about that, so they're gonna do another culture in a week to see how he's doing physically. We did get recommended to start giving him a quarter teaspoon of miralax every day for his giant poops which I hope gives him some relief. All in all I think the mindset of this being more of a chronic thing to manage instead of a potential for death is so much easier to deal with and I think my mood getting better is helping him a bit too. Lots of chirps and purrs today (despite him still straining to pee because his bladder's already empty and still licking at his crotch too much, lol)
Gonna start tearing at this office to make it even more kitty friendly and maybe getting some pheromone diffusers to see if it helps his nerves a bit; finally getting a fourth litter box and putting another water bowl next to his favorite futon in the basement downstairs too. Wish me luck on getting him better!
