Little Furry Prayer Request
 
My female cat was peeing blood tonight when I got home from work. She's been acting really tired and drinking a lot of water for the past few days and now is in and out of the litter box every couple of minutes and stopping to pee a few drops on the carpet in between. I got her a vet appointment for a couple hours from now. Please say a prayer that my little furball will be okay and that they can give her something to make her feel better.

Thanks for listening.

I will say a prayer for you and your fur ball, my little fur ball gets that too. Last time was a UTI. So me and mine will think of you, and yours!!!! please let us know how she does at the vet.

Best wishes

Sending prayers for you and your furball:) It does sound like a UTI, which is fairly common in cats (I have 3) but I know how scary it is. Keep us posted.

Hugs and prayers!

Uti & Cystitis are the same thing, right? My cats have had Cystitis & it was cleared up with meds. in about 3 days or so. The male cat had a more complicated problem, but it was cleared up too eventually.

be good! Keep us posted :a194:

Thanks you guys. I'm back from the vet... apparently she does have an infection (lots of white blood cells in the urine). I found out she has a thick bladder wall which could be retaining the bacteria even during antibiotics and then growing back and causing the infections to re-occur. So, we're trying a new antibiotic, some pain medication, and some natural remedy (which I haven't quite figured out yet) to see if it helps. I just hope this is the end of the drama. :(

Anyway, happy to have this day over and hoping for a peaceful tomorrow!

colagirl 10-21-2008 10:11 PM

OH, and I wanted to clarify... cystitis is a non-infectious inflammation of the bladder, and a UTI is an actual bacterial infection. Both cause about the same behavior. :)

Eyes2TheSoul 10-21-2008 11:24 PM

I'm so glad your kitty is OK. Hugs and prayers for a quick recovery!!:ghug3

Hi everybody,
So far so good on these antibiotics. She's been taking them just fine mixed in with some wet food (SO grateful for that!). I think she's doing fine but her episodes are usually sporadic so it might take a few days before I know for sure. I'm exhausted and hope I can get a good night sleep tonight. Thanks again for all the prayers!

Impurrfect 10-22-2008 10:22 PM

Still keeping you and your furbaby in my prayers.
