Hey everyone, been busy here, and unable to look at any new posts as we have been very busy with our own kids. We lost another kitten this week, part of a rescue litter with the mother we picked up a few months back. Her litter has been plagued with problems, and o ly one kitten is left (out of 3), we hope this last kitty has better fortune and not so many congenital issues, although her tail is absolutely the most bent tail we have ever seen.
Anyway, last night, one of our other cats had blood in his urine, and as you can imagine, we became very alarmed. He is less than a year old, Himalayan male, and the vet suspects FLUTD, which is new to us. The vet did not have the proper equipment to get a sample of urine straight from Zeus 's bladder, but he suspects this is the cause. We are contacting another hospital to see if they have what is needed to run the correct test.
We have over 30 cat rescues, and it seems we can't go a month without one of our babies needing to be hospitalized. We have been unable to find homes for any of the cats, in the Philippines, they treat cats like rodents with character. They are mostly shallow, and want pure breed cats only, and they want them free. Getting cat care in the Philippines, is difficult on the best days. Anyway, I was hoping someone with more knowledge can enlighten us about FLUTD, what the prognosis is, and what the typical routine of treatment is for this disorder.
Thanks in advance, sincerely, the kittykeepers.
Here is my Zeus
