Mitties has never had a problem going pee, it's always been pooping. Now that she's on all wet food with Benefiber mixed in, she's been pooping fine. Today I noticed she was going in the litter box quite often and just thought she must be a little plugged up again. But when I observed her, she wasn't in her "pooping stance"... she was trying to pee!
I quickly called my MIL who is a vet assistant, and I asked if Mitties would be okay until the vets opened tomorrow since no one is open on a Sunday. She said she probably would, but to keep an eye on her. I put down an empty litter box as directed in hopes to catch a pee sample, but I don't know if she'll go in it. Right now she looks a little uncomfortable and is meowing like she's irritated or perhaps in pain.
My MIL said she'd probably be put on Clavamox, but again I won't get there until tomorrow. When I cleaned her box last night there was plenty of pee clumps, so what happened? Do UTIs just come on out of no where? Like I said, she's NEVER had this happen before and I'm nervous. What can I do to make her more comfortable until she goes to the vet? My poor baby!
