Our vet took another urine sample and it came back with a small amount of bacteria, however, she said that it was such a minute amount it wasn't even worth considering it as a problem. However, she did give us clavamox (again) and talked with us about his Behavioral Issue.
He's been on the amitriptyline for about 5 days now, we have 25 more to go. The vet said that we will see how this works and how he copes afterwards, if there's any remission in his behavior. So far, so good which is wonderful because we JUST moved into a new house and were very lucky that our landlord allowed us to have pets inside. Initially he wasn't going to due to bad past experiences with previous tenants. So, no pee yet. I'll probably jinx myself saying that- I always do.
If he goes into remission after the current medication is up we may switch to prozac. The downside which is noticeable is his sedated demeanor with the amitriptyline. I just hope and pray this works.
(Backstory: Olley has peed on things, sprayed, squatted, anything. We tried different litters, more boxes, more cleaning of boxes, different foods, sprays, no luck was had. If he'd get upset he'd pee, if you looked at him funny, he'd pee. We couldn't figure out what to do. There were never any UTI's, no stones, no crystals. Basically he's always fit the bill of good health, so we couldn't understand what was wrong.)
