Little scare
All was well in the household going into last week. Both kitties were thriving, I was really busy with wedding, work, and regular chores. (I'm leaving for Mexico this week so there was plenty to do.)
As I expressed Remy Wednesday morning, I noticed a couple of drops of blood in his urine. My heart sank. Now, he's acting normally, just previous night had had chased a bug! He's not acting sick at all. I had to go to work, especially since I already had a vacation planned. I called and made an apt with the vet. When I got home, he had bled/peed through his diaper onto the wee pad. I rushed him to the vet even though his apt wasn't for another 2 hours. The vet sees him, says basically that there are a number of factors that can cause it, need to do a urine sample and put him on antibiotics. (The vet was actually surprised that it hadn't happened sooner in his condition.) I've been forcing the antibiotic down his throat 2 times a day since Wednesday. He doesn't like it. And it doesn't seem to agree with stomache either, he's thrown up several times over the weekend but there's no more blood in his urine! Otherwise, his personality is unchanged. He eats all his food and MEOWS for attention everytime he sees me.
Sometime next week, while I'm in Mexico and he's at the doctor, he'll get another urine sample to see if its all clear or if he needs to stay on the antibiotics for a little while longer. I'll post after....
