Hi everyone, looking to see if anyone had similar issues.
Few days ago I noticed the cat using the litterbox often. Most of the time he pees small amount ( 3-5 seconds ), but once a day or so he will pee a long one ( 8-10 seconds ). While he is peeing he doesn't seem in pain, doesn't strain or vocalize.
I took him to the vet and they tested his blood. Red blood cells were high, and some other thing that I forget the name of was high too. When I asked the vet what it means she said that the cat is fighting off inflammation, that's likely reason for those results.
Taken that I thought he has UTI maybe. He received 2 antibiotic shots. After the 1st one I noticed that the frequency of litterbox trips decreased but the amount is still small. However after the 2nd shot there are no more improvements, in fact the frequency seems to have gone up a bit again.
He is 3 year old male, not castrated yet. He is active, eating well. I remember a year ago he had something similar, back then I didn't think much of it and it passed on its own.
Have any of you had a cat with UTI or peeing issues? In case of UTI shouldn't 2 antibiotic shots have given more of a difference?
The vet is closed until 6th of Jan, when it opens I'll take him back for more testing, but until then I wanted to see if anyone had similar experiences.
Thank you.
