If you read my thread in the Lounge about needing advice....here comes another twist to the tale!
My friend's sister just called me upset and saying they may be putting Buddy down tomorrow. I'll try to summarize:
Can anyone please share some insight!?! (Maybe link to a thread) I'm not experienced with this problem other that the bit I've read on here. Do you think that she should just keep meding him? She has another weeks worth of antibiotics. She called asking if I knew of any pain meds she could give him, so I told her to call the emergency vet and ask because cats are very different from dogs in that aspect. I really really need advice! Please share any stories or just anything you can. Buddy needs us! My friend's sister is a very nice person, but not an animal lover as much as us on here or experienced with this stuff. She's young, a college student, and very newly married, etc. She's just supposed to keep him till my friend gets back to the states in 4 years. Buddy is only 4 years old.
Please please help Buddy and I!
My friend's sister just called me upset and saying they may be putting Buddy down tomorrow. I'll try to summarize:
- Thanksgiving Day-Buddy trying to pee on carpet, couldn't.
- Next day-vet diagnosed UTI, crystals....gave antibiotics, special food...Buddy was able to pee and $800 later, went home, but vet said he may 'block right up' again.
- Has been on anti-biotics...was doing well, then started to act funny again so anti-biotics increased a bit
- Struggling to pee again (not as bad as last week) seems to be in pain
- Friend's sister can't afford another vet visit, almost brought to spca (
