    urinary tract yeast infection??

    I would definitely follow Feebys advice first before assuming FIC. The lab will do a culture test on the urine for speicific bacteria and the ultrasound and xray will reveal any blockages or growths. Especially with a male kitty who is more prone to blockage.

    urinary tract yeast infection??

    My female tortie is suffering the same situation reoccurring avery 30 days for 3 months now. In and out of the box every 15 minutes with bloody drops of urine. She has been tested as well with no answers. They are calling is FIC since no blockages, no growths, no bacteria, no crystals. She...

    Any suggestions? FIC - interstitial cystitis

    Yes, this is the 3rd month. It reappears every 30 days right now. She is such a sweetheart too, I feel so bad for her. Wishing they would take her sooner, surely at least a med until they see her to get her feeling better. She is back to the box every 15 minutes. bloody urine, just drops. :-( I...

    Any suggestions? FIC - interstitial cystitis

    Thank you for this info. I am going to bring this up when I get her in to see the vet. Yes they did give her 5 days of a anti inflammatory/pain med, but it was not on my receipts so I could not say what it was. began with an "m". That was in December's visit. it helped her by the next day. Her...

    Any suggestions? FIC - interstitial cystitis

    Annabelle, who will be 7 yrs in April, is a tortie rescue. We adopted her along with 2 other torties in Sept of 2016 from a local shelter. All 3 had a lot of issues, but after 3 month, we managed to get them all in good health and healthy they remained since. Last Nov Anna was treated for a UTI...

    Cat won't eat or drink after taking Cerenia pill

    On way home from Mass this morning I stopped at the grocer and bought baby food...chicken, stage 2. I had a kitty years ago who loved this. She actually took a few licks with great interest. she wanted to eat it, but it was almost as if it started to choke her in the back of her throat as she...

    Cat won't eat or drink after taking Cerenia pill

    That is terrifying, just evil actually. Isobel seemed to be bounding back a bit yesterday but still no food or water. This morning she threw up a couple tablespoons worth of yellow bile. Do I give her the dose? Obviously I cannot reach the vet on Sunday. I don't want to bring her back to that...

    Cat won't eat or drink after taking Cerenia pill

    Thank you. I appreciate your input. It is so hard to find good cat care. You bring them to ER and they do whatever they want without explaining the side effects. "it will help her nausea"...well yes I suppose it will if she is not eating, drinking, and walking around in a fog. She had already...

    Cat won't eat or drink after taking Cerenia pill

    After bringing my Isobel for vomiting they gave her cerenia shot yesterday morning about 9 am. She will not eat or drink anything. They gave me pills to give her but I am reluctant after seeing this reaction. Stopped the vomiting, other tests revealed no blockage or immediate danger, but now she...

    Kitty Scalded With Hot Beverage - Advice

    She is feeling much better today....it was her worried mama after noticing the scabs. I've been checking her closely. She is letting me actually look at it today so it is probably not hurting her as badly as it was. She is eating very well too. Frisky this evening....and I know she is not...

    Kitty Scalded With Hot Beverage - Advice

    I will NOT put ANYTHING on it at all. I did use a wash cloth soaked in cool water at the time. Just to cool the are with no pressure or "washing". I am going to see the vet with her.

    Kitty Scalded With Hot Beverage - Advice

    The flattop stove was/still is truly my nightmare. Normally our Tia does not jump near there (her sister Isobel is the culprit and the one I thought could get hurt). Since we adopted these kitties less than a year ago we don't leave the hot cooktop unattended....2 of the 3 are jumpers :-( I hate...
