Hi all,
Nico my diabetic cat with HBP suddenly seemed I'll this morning. This guy is usually a trooper, DM is well controlled, he's on half a unit of ProZinc and HBP also well controlled with Amlodipine. But this morning he got sick, and I noticed him going to the litter box to pee but not much if anything came out. He felt very warm, so off we went to the vet. They said his bladder was empty and they did not feel a blockage, but his temp was slightly elevated. We came back with Clavamox and Cerenia for nausea. He is at least drinking now, no pee trips yet, but doesn't want to eat. Has anyone experienced this with a bad UTI? I feel bad for the guy, he's just kinda moping around right now.
PS I do have a collection tube to get a sample for when he does eventually go.

Also he ate a little bit at dinner, not his usual appetite, but I'm happy with the little progress so far. At least now I can take his sample back to the vet when they open on Tuesday. It's in the fridge in it's container in a baggie labeled so hubby doesn't throw it away lol
