Hello! How are you all doing?
I have a 7 year old female cat who has had urinary tract issues since forever. At the shelter where I got her, they once did surgery to see what the problem was but could not find anything. I have had times when she was clearly in pain, went to the vet and she got treated. But that happened years ago. Sometimes I would see blood drops and go again. But they never can find anything and keep telling me it's the urinary tract issue resulted from stress. Now lately, I keep seeing one tiny drop of blood every day in her urine. It's been weeks now. Usually it goes away just fine. What should I do? When we visit the vet they confirm she feels no pain in her bladder, she's happy, running around, seems to be feeling great, but the blood just won't go away. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do? I have tried a cranberry supplement for cats. Stuff that can help with imflammation. She also goes through periods of time where she just lets her urine flow while napping and sleeping, and sometimes that doesn't happen for a while. Right now she also let's her urine flow whenever she lays down somewhere. But she also goes to the litter box when she needs to. Overall, in a great mood. Her weight does change and I have had to mix her urinary diet with regular food or else she wouldn't eat enough. And I give her wet food, one half in the morning, the other in the evening, so she eats it whole. We also got a cat water fountain to stimulate her water consumption and she seems to like it. Is it also possible she has hurt herself on the inside because she's very neurotic when it comes to the litter box. Goes to it countless of times a day, just trying to pee. Sometimes something comes out, sometimes not. (This has always been a thing, even at the shelter, hence the surgery). Has she perhaps herself while trying to pee too hard? whilest the other cat just goes one time a day and a while waterfall comes out.
I am sorry if I am all over the place with my story, hope you all are fine during these weird corona times!
