And now I'm at the vet.

Seems like a lot of our ML animals are having a rough patch these days.

Princess Larrie has a lot of blood in her urine. Poor kitty. Could just be a regular UTI right? Please tell me it's only that...

I'm just waiting for the Dr to see her right now.

Good luck kitty! ❤️

[madamecleo]

I hope she is okay and that it is something relatively minor.

I just learned that there's a K-9 Flu vaccine. Huh.

[mom2twoboys]

Feel better kitty!

[agnes]

They're going to "tap her bladder" and do an ultrasound. I wonder how much this going to cost. Hmmm. Any guesses? A couple hun-do?

[agnes]

$106. Including antibiotics and fluids. Not too bad. They think it's just an infection and crystals. Thank goodness.

[pittsmcgee]

Good update. Feel better kitty!

[louie]

Oh, good news. I hope she is feeling better soon.

[runforrest]

Good news! Hope kitty is better soon

How is your's doing today?  Is she doing better today?

Mine is kinda pissed at me this morning because I got antibiotics all over her face.  She wouldn't stop moving.

She's stable enough to be discharged today, I get to pick her up in a few hours!

What did they end up saying was wrong with your kitty? I thought it was super uncommon for lady cats to have pee crystal problems.

They think it is an infection caused by the crystals?  They couldn't take a urine sample because her bladder was too small, but the bladder wall was thickened.  The Dr said she wasn't as concerned about crystal blockage since she is a female and has a larger urethra.  They gave her fluids and a shot of penicillin. I have to give her amoxicillin twice a day and feed her prescription food.  I have to take her back in 10 days to do a urine sample.

Poor baby.

My male cat has had blockages, twice. Giving cats medicine is zero fun.

yeah, I usually wind up getting most of it on her face instead of in her mouth.  At least she licks it off.  That's good enough, right?  lol

[So_Fetch]

I hope both of your kitties are on the mend! I had a boy that got crystals - he blocked three times over 13 years. Poor guy.

Easier than pills, which are the bane of my existence.

I swear I do everything humanly possible and I cannot get any of my cats to keep pills down. Then if I crush them and add to food they protest eating.

Thank goodness I have never had to do pills.  Larrie doesn't like wet food and I'm sure I'd have scratches alllllll over me.
