Today, my Cat Margaret age 9, looked a like she lacked energy, so I wanted to make sure she was OK so I gave her a treat. She ate it fine, but right after that she went to the litter box and pretty much peed all blood.
I freaked out and took her to the vet straight away, vet gave her a couple of shots, said one was for the pain and another for the bleeding, and told me is most likely a urinary tract infection and also to watch out if she has difficulty peeing the blood or if it comes straight through, in case it was stones or sand instead (it comes out easy).
I'm supposed to take her back in the morning, but since I brought her back, I fed her some chicken (which she ate no problem) and after that she had some water and she went and peed blood again, and now I'm freaking out again.
I don't trust the local vets very much, and I'm worried her issue might be too urgent to wait until the morning, I never had a cat pee straight up blood before, and she seems to be walking funny, probably because of the pain. Though now she managed to lay down and rest.
Am I freaking out over nothing? Is the peeing of blood normal for urinary tract infection. if that's what this is? Could this be something more serious, since she had some breathing problems recently that may not be related? Any advice would be appreciated.
For the record, she is not spayed.
