Today I noticed red drops on my senior(18/19yo) cat’s pee pad. Honestly I didn’t think much of it as it looked like he stepped in something. Until tonight I witnessed him acting strange, his tail was down which is never down. Feeling something wrong I went to his pee pad and saw more droplets of red, it’s blood. I rush to tell my mom and we both witness him going back to the pee pad and squatting as if to pee but just a few drips of blood comes out. We sent a message to my vet but its Saturday night, she has an automated message for an emergency vet in another town listed and we call. The ER vet advised us to feel his belly for any pain or other signs. He sat there letting my mom feel around and apply pressure on his stomach. No pain or reaction. Vet says it’s could be a UTI.
He is eating fine, drinking water, acting normally aside from this. He did pee at least 2/3 times today but was accompanied by drops of blood afterwards. He is not crying in pain and takes off after.
Vet said to give him on a wet food or soak his hard food in water. I went out and bought Purina Fancy Feast Broth (chicken). I’m not even sure that’s the best to be giving him. He slurped that up and is now sleeping. We are going to start giving him 2 packets of this broth food a day until we can get him into the vet.
Planning to take him to the vet on Monday. But is there anything more I can do or what to keep an eye out for? He’s also been on Purina Probiotic’s for cats due to puking for over a year now which has helped greatly. Should I still give this to him if I want him to have the moisture of wet food?
