Mr. Fez's Memoirs

Vet Vist

Well, I gave Mom a scare... This morning I would not stay out of the litter box and I was only going a few drops at a time. Naturally Mom was very concerned and immediately called the vet (and work to let them know she would be in late, if at all). Mom had to drop me off, the only way they could squeeze me in on a Monday morning. Mom didn't hear anything for 5 hours so she called for an update... and was told I was NOT being very cooperative about giving a urine sample! The gave me sub-q fluids... and I wet myself in my cage 3 times before the were finally able to get a urine sample. Well, at least I wasn't blocked! I do have a UTI... they also detected crystal fragments so the vet is concerned I may also have Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). The vet also said my urine was extremely concentrated so I'm not drinking enough water and she suggested a kitty water fountain and canned food diet to increase my water intake. The vet said it's possible the crystals could be from the presence of infection and the concentration of my urine - so no special food right now and the want to recheck my urine in 2 weeks when I'm done with antibiotics and we will go from there.
