Hi Everyone! I am new to this, but I need some advice!
The other day I noticed my cat Murphy going in and out of the litter box for almost a 1/2 hour. He never ended up peeing at all! I called the vet and they told me to bring him in, I did and they kept him overnight. I picked him up yesterday evening. They said they had been getting a good stream from him the whole time, but that he had some crystals, as well as alot of white blood cells in his urine. They gave me special food (Wet & dry) and also a medicine called Clavanox (liquid form) I brought him home and he is very happy to be back! He is eating the food I got from them okay (although he doesnt usually eat wet food, doesnt seem to like it as much) I tried to give him the Clavanox this morning and that did not work. I have never had to give him meds before and he is a bit of a maniac and kept getting away form me. I dont know what to do about that. Also, he was in the litter box for a while again this morning and did not go at all. I had just cleaned it this morning so I could monitor how much he is going. I plan to go home and check on him at lunch time today.
Should I be worried he didnt go this morning again? And what do I do about the medicien I cant get him take?
I dont want to let him get sicker, but i dont want to rush to the vet everytime something is a bit off either. What should I do?
Thanks for the help!!
