I adopted a five-year-old spayed cat who had some issues with pulling her hair out on her legs, belly, and tail. The vet did treat with a steroid shot and a two-week antibiotic because she had some scabs on her belly. She still pulls hair out and she doesn’t seem all right to me. I noticed chunks in the litter box that were the size and shape of dice. They didn’t seem like dissolved litter. My vet suggested $360 of allergy testing. I’m looking for a second opinion. Thank you.

My 6yr old female was jumping from one litter box to another. Afterwards I noticed she had blood in her urine. Took her to the vet, the hydrated her and did a urine test. They gave her an antibiotic shot and also Clavamox. I also put her on a special urinary food. She was doing a little bit better but the blood is back in her urine. The vet called and said that the urinalysis came back with crystals. I've changed her diet and she finished all her medication but she still has blood in her urine and it's been about three weeks. I'm really worried for her. Please help.

I took my male cat into the vet this past Thursday (it's now Sunday) and he was kept overnight and treated for crystals. x-ray showed no stones. Vet kept him on IV and catheter. They removed catheter about noon Saturday and he was peeing on his own. The IV was left in a few hours longer. We picked him up at 6 pm Friday. Once back home, he filled the litter box with pee. Kept going again and again. We have Rx antibiotic, antispasmodic and special food. After his initial massive amounts of urination, we cleaned the box. He had one very small pee Saturday,and so far I only see a very small pee from this morning. His tummy feels firm again. Could a uti or spasms from the catheter be causing this or are we likely looking at another blockage? I'm not sure what to do. I don't want anything bad to happen to him. His vet opens early tomorrow morn (Monday). I'm concerned. He had this happen some years back and I don't recall there being any sudden reduction in his urination following treatment. He is eating fine, but not drinking. I do remember last we had him on vet recommended soft food, he drank very little, but all seemed well. On quality, hard food, he drank quite a bit of water. But we're on soft food presently. When selecting "severity" below I chose "serious" but I don't know if that's accurate in light of the above. What can we expect following treatment? Is this normal?

My10 year okd female cat has been urinating in odd places, her bed, the dig’s bed, and a couple days ago I noticed a small spot if blood where she urinated. She has gone from 18 pounds to 10 pounds since spring, even though her appetite was good. The vet put her on an antibiotic a week ago. All her blood work came back good except infection. Now she is not eating well for the last day, just nibbles....even water intake is down. What is the next step? Like I said only had blood work.

I had noticed that Max was peeing outside of the Box several months ago and I thought it was the litter so everything got changed and he stopped for several months. Recently he started again so I thought well it must be time to change the litter. My 2 female cats didn't seem to mind. Well at the end of May it was getting worse. he was peeing everywhere. Then I noticed blood in his urine and it had a different smell than normal. I called the Vet and took him in on May 19. They did x-rays, urine sample. There were no stones and the Dr said he had a bladder infection and prescribed antibiotics and told he he would call in the morning to let me know if there was anything else wrong and if there were crystals in his urine. He called and said no crystals just the Bladder infection so we will hold off on changing his diet but he wanted to see him back on May 29. We went and Max was his stubborn self. They did more urine samples and x-rays. No stones but he notice a little blood. I hadn't noticed it after he was prescribed the medication but it may not have been visible. He said he would call the next day. When they brought Max out, I noticed he was acting a little different. He was curled up in the cage and didn't seem his self. He usually cries a little bit in the car but he seemed off and I just thought he had a rough time at the Dr's. Got home and he seemed fine. Played with one of my other cats, ate, slept and whatever else cats like to do. I went to bed and around 12am I was awoken by someone vomiting a lot. I got up and it was Max. It was food so I figured he ate too fast. Couple hours later vomit...then 3 more times and the more he vomited the watery it got. When the Dr called in the morning with the results he said Max has crystals and we need to change his diet. I asked about the vomiting and he didn't seem too concerned about that. He said sometimes the antibiotics can upset their stomach so I said ok we'll change his diet. I bought all this UTI food. As the day went on, this was Saturday the 30th, Max seemed to disappear a lot. I kept finding him under my bed. He didn't eat with the other cats and he was peeing outside the box still. Max has not eaten in 2 days and he has stopped peeing and became very lethargic. He just wants to lay down. I heard him make a couple of loud noises and I thought maybe the crystals hurt him or something. Well Sunday May 31 I went to sleep and heard a squealing noise around midnight. I got up and found Max in the bathroom throwing up basically nothing but making a awful sound. That is why I am sitting here at 4:30 am typing this. He vomited a couple more times but was mostly liquid and foam. He has been drinking water but still not eating and we are waiting till around 7:30 am to call the vet. I am very worried about him and I hope it is not too serious, but I think it is.

About a year ago my cat stopped eating and lost a lot of weight. I took him to the vet and they were worried about his liver. So he was put on denamarin for life. I had to take my cat in every week for about six weeks and the liver values were going up. So fast forward to about Christmas time 2019 and my cat has started peeing randomly in different places. I have three cardboard cat scratchers on the floor that he Peed on. He Peed in a suitcase when we were getting ready to go on a weekend trip.So I took him back to the vet they did a urinalysis didn’t see any thing going on no urinary tract infection so they gave him an antibiotic shot. Things seemed OK then like the next couple of days he Peed on some blankets on the bed. So I just thought I’d give it some more time put another litter box out clean the litter boxes like 3 to 4 times a day so they were pristine. He is still peeing outside the box. I am at my wits end this is very stressful to have to clean this all the time. I don’t know if my vet doesn’t know what he’s doing and maybe I need to get a second opinion? When my vet gave my cat a physical there wasn’t anything on the outside that was wrong the urinalysis didn’t say anything was wrong and they’ve given him a blood test before and nothing was wrong! So I don’t know what to do! is it behavioral, is it medical!? I really can’t afford a lot and I don’t know if my vet is gouging me out of money and just wanting me to keep coming back multiple times or if they should’ve been able to tell what’s been going on through a urinalysis and blood test? Anyone else had the same issue with an older cat? He eats fine he urinates a good amount he drinks water and doesn’t seem to be straining when he pees. Please help!!!!!
