Hi All-
My 9 month old kitten started exhibiting signs of urinary frequency with little output each time. At one point, he was in litter box 8 times in 30 minutes. I took him to my vet. He suggested it was more likely due to FUC(feline urinary cystitis) rather than an infection. Haze's bladder was too small to do a cystocentesis so I left him there from 10:30a to 5pm in the hopes that he would be able to give a sample. When I returned, Haze had not urinated...at all! The vet did an X-ray of his bladder to be sure of no blockage and everything was clear. He sent me home Onsior a medication that is a NSAID. He said it would help with the bladder inflammation. Everything I read is that it's usuallly for post operative orthopedic pets. Does anyone have any experience with this drug for urinary symptoms?
Of course, as soon as I brought Haze home, he urinated. Murphy's Law every time. The vet said to still bring him back Monday to stay all day so he can check his urine to be sure.
I'm just baffled that Haze had so much urgency to go at home and even whimpered at points and then nothing at the vet.
