.....why does this stuff always happen at night!!!!!!

So....I know I have told you this before...but I will give you the run down.....

Emmet almost dies last November, due to crystals in his bladder......The first symptom was him dragging his butt on the floor, and frequent bathroom visits.....The last time we were completly ignorant to what these symptoms could be and let it go till it was almost too late.....It was a grueling, emotional and horrible 3 weeks for all of us....but he made it through and he hasn't had a problem since......

But I was just sitting in the kitchen, while John did the dishes, and I noticed Emmet went into two different litter boxes in the course of 5 minutes, and then after the second time, he dragged his butt over the carper in the living room...


Now I dont know if this means what i think it means.....but I am calling the vet first thing tommorow, and am gonna try to get him in....or more so insist that they see him...........

I am scared to death....hopefully we are catching it early, or maybe its omething less detrimental, but again I am taking noooo chances...........

He's eating, and he is peeing, and hes active...which is a good sign........

Could you guys send a few prayers our way...My Emmet is the feline love of my life, and I hate to see him go through the pains and proceedures of last November........Thanx

Of course we'll give prayers for your Emmet. I hope that he is still acting ok means that you're catching it in time. We've had problems with Much and UTIs for years (she's 12 and has 1-2 episodes a year) and the vet has said that she just seems prone to them. We're now to the point if she comes bolting out of the litter box, we call the vet. Our biggest frustration with her is that she can't take oral antibotics (sensitive stomach - upchucks it in about 15 minutes). So we have to spend extra $ for the injectable kind.

I pray that Emmet gets better quickly and that it isn't serious. Keep us informed of your vet visit.

Nebula,

I am sooo sorry. I know exactly how you feel. Last year was an incredibly emotionally draining year for me with Penelope getting Pyothorax (an often fatal disease which required medication and monitoring for months) and then, shortly after, showing symptoms of asthma which she was eventually diagnosed with. The result is that I am now SUPER vigilant about any sign of something being wrong with my cats' health. So, I can imagine the panic and distress you are feeling right now.

Please know that I will be sending up lots of prayers for Emmet.

Thanx again....I'll give you guys an update when I know something

I'm hoping it is a false alarm, but think you are doing the right thing by taking him in!



Good Luck!

He ate real well tonight, and I just gave him the wet dissolution instead of mixing in some dry like i usually do.........
Again he seems fine....but he did visit the "little boys room" 2 more times, thats 5 times in just a few hours....so I think I have my confermation that somethings up...........

I'm glad John and I were able to pick out the early symptoms this time....its just morning couldn't come quick enough

Personally I'm hoping it's impacted anal glands.. that's also a butt dragging thingie.. :/ Either way, I hope Emmett feels better soon, and that It's not crystals again :/
