Ok. Where do I begin?
About a year ago, my cat start peeing outside the litter box. Took her to the vet, prescribed her new diet, gave her antibiotics. Several months went by b4 I realized she is still urinating outside the box. Took her back to the vet, more crystals in urine, more antibiotics. And again, month or so later, we repeat the same thing. Still problems with her urinating other places other than her litter box. If I keep her confined to the bathroom, no problem. But that makes my bathroom smell to high heaven & I just hate keeping her put up like that.
Monday morning, I looked in her box & there was no urine. So I knew she must have pee'd somewhere else. She likes rugs. I go in my daughter's room & her rug is soaked with urine. I go in my youngest daughter's room & there is 2 piles of poop...one pile being really runny. I put her back in the bathroom & lock the door. Monday nite, my oldest dtr tells me she cleaned up a pile of poop in her room just the other day & it was runny too. Also Monday nite, I go in the bathroom to ck on her & there lays a pile of poop in the bathroom floor. I clean it up & right after I go to bed my youngest knocks on my bedroom door to tell me Ms. Kitty vomitted & 'went' 4 times in the bathroom floor. She said her poop was runny again.
I load her up again & take her to the vet. He has done all kinds of blood work on her, checked her again for crystals and nothing. Absolutely nothing. My vet is thinking that since I just bought a new bag of catfood, the food may be upsetting her stomach. He suggested I buy another bag of catfood & confine her to the bathroom until she uses the litter box again. He said which may take 2 weeks up to 2 months.
HELP!! Any suggestions?
She's a long hair calico, 6 years old, 12-13 lbs, spayed, declawed front & back..never goes outside unless she walks out on the deck when I have the glass sliding door open.
