Have you had any discussions with the vet about an anti-spasmodic? If it were me I would want to rule that out as a possible cause. Spasms can cause uncontrollable urination.
Most cats don't typically pee in their hang out or laying spots, even when it is behavioral. I sincerely think there is...
Hi and welcome to TCS, despite what brought you here. The first thing I did was search this site to see if any other members have ever posted about their cats having this disorder - and found none. I am amazed to find so much information on the internet but did not see any forums specific to...
Hi. I agree about joining the FIP Warriors, if you haven't already. That group is dedicated to FIP and it is highly likely they will have some thoughts on what could be going on. Home (fipwarriors.com)
As you said, he is very early into treatment, and it is possible the FIP will progress...
Hi. Can you glean any information from this web site, until other more knowledgeable members come along and see your post?

Hi. I am not aware of gabapentin causing an elevation in potassium, but that doesn't mean it can't. I would wait until you can talk to the vet about that and all of his results before trying to do anything about it. I am a bit surprised that you received a call about it with no advice as to...
Hi. In addition to the senior blood work, if your cat hasn't already had that, you could consider getting his cobalamin (B-12) level checked. Cats with IBD often have low B12 levels which can impact nutrient absorption in the intestines. Some cats can gain weight after being given B-12 shots...
I am not sure anyone here can provide a solution for you. If he has asthma, does he have an inhaler//nebulizer you can give him a treatment from? It is probably a combination of his asthma and seasonal allergies. If you don't have back-up treatments for him, you should ask the vet about them for...
I know every cat is different, but Feeby has been on D-Mannose for 3 years and it has not affected her urine PH level at all. I have never given her cornsilk.
Back when Feeby had her oxalate stones removed, they were from her bladder, not from her kidneys. If there were stones there, which no...
You could check local laws/ordinances and find out if cats are allowed to roam freely. There are more and more areas that are not allowing it any more than they allow it for dogs. If you find the owners are going against any local ordinances you could contact the SPCA for further...
Hi. I think you will find my comments in some of the posts in the llink above. Feeby had oxalate stones that had to be surgically removed at the age of 5; 14+ years ago. I have no idea what her urine PH level was at the time because I knew so much less then about what to pay attention to...
If these cats are grooming each other, it is highly unlikely that they are going to get into a fight where blood is drawn, or fur is pulled out. You may be delaying their progress in getting over this. Nonetheless, it does sound like things are getting ironed out. It is just going to take some...
Hi and welcome to TCS. Thank you for what you are doing and trying to help out! All you can do is search the internet for rescues that might be able to take the adult cats as you hopefully find homes for the kittens. I don't know where you are located, but if I did, all I would do is look for...
Hi and welcome to TCS despite what brought you here. Looking forward to seeing your responses to the questions/ideas above as that could help shed a lot of light on things. I didn't see mention of the reverse case where the attacking cat is sensing a health condition in the one being attacked...
Hi. I guess that is a personal choice, when it comes right down to it. You know she has CKD and her numbers are progressing as is typical, and it sounds like she is being treated accordingly. An ultrasound to see the status of her kidneys would only be beneficial, IMO, if there is something else...
Hi. Just chiming in to agree with the others. Do the blood work, which should include CBC, Chemistry panel and Thyroid (T-4).
Let us know the blood test results!
Good for him, bad for you wallet - I know! I am surprised that they want to test his urine so quickly after completing the antibiotics. I have always heard that it is best to wait about a week to ensure the antibiotics are not influencing the results.
I am just curious how giving steroids routinely isn't considered long term and how that compares to some of the new immune therapy meds you've heard about.
Also, here is the DMG I have seen used before.

I'd get a second opinion, just because... But, are you aware that stomatitis can be due to one of the main three viruses? There are cats whose issues aren't resolved by FME. While I am not sure there is anything that can definitely help, it might be worthwhile to put your cat on an immune...
Are there things on the counter top that is attracting him to that area? Unwashed dishes, other sources of food, plants, a window? Those need to be taken care of to help discourage him. I have heard of folks using aluminum foil as a deterrent, but I think that one I believe has had the most...
