I have a 5 month old kitten who over the past couple of days seemed to be very lethargic, not grooming, and not being herself. Yesterday, she peed in her little bed/jungle gym, and also peed on the floor a couple days prior. Her box is always clean, and she only does it when I leave the house so I attributed it to her being unhappy about me leaving. I decided to make a vet appointment for this morning just to be one the safe side! Almost immediately after that she started having diarrhea, and I was very glad I made that appointment! This morning she puked liquid onto the carpet.
I took her for her appointment. She was running a slight fever and the vet said it seems to be a UTI and that the infection could cause her to vomit and have diarrhea. He gave her IV fluids as well [with a medication to help the vomitting/diarrhea], and dewormed her again since she was due. He took labs which he said will be back in the morning and he will call me. He said it seems to be a UTI but the only way to confirm is through the blood work. He gave me Clavamox for antibiotic and Flagyl for vommiting/diarrhea. He said when the results come in tomorrow, if its something other than a UTI we will have to take a different route etc.
Now being a paranoid cat mommy, I cant wait to hear from him. I know only HE can tell me for sure since he has the results but I was wondering what this sounds like to you all. Does this sound like a UTI? She has all her shots, is completely an indoor cat, etc.
Any info would be appreciated, my stomach is in knots!
