I think I mentioned once or twice in the past month that Simba had peed outside his litter box, on some plastic in our upstairs, once or twice in the past few weeks. I really thought it was a behavior thing as it wasn't happening often.
He did it again this morning and I was easily able to take the urine sample (as he peed on plastic again) and get it to the vet within the 1 hour timeframe needed for testing.
They said he did have a little blood in his urine and gave me 7-10 days worth of 50 mg amoxy tablets to give him 2x/day.
I hope this takes care of it, as she mentioned scary things like taking a sample with a needle through his stomach, polyps or kidney stones as things to consider if it doesn't respond to the meds.
Yipes!!
I got a 'pill-er' to give him the pills -- will be interesting to see how that goes!
