Hi, y'all - long time lurker on this site, but finally registered and posted to see if anyone else has been through this and can offer any insight.
My 20 year old cat, J, started suddenly peeing blood about 10 days ago. We were prescribed clavamox for the UTI (he had a "couple different types" of bacteria in his pee) and gabapentin for the pain. He's been on the clavamox since then, but still continues to strain and pee blood clots. It's always after a good, healthy, clear pee, so we know he's not blocked. I called the vet and he said to keep him on the 'mox and making sure he's eating, drinking, and going (yes, he is), and that the clots might be from the UTI as it's healing.
Can't find anything similar on the internet and wondering if anyone's been through anything similar? If so, how long did it last and do you have any tips?
