My pet has the following symptoms:
My girl is almost 16,5 weeks ago she started displaying signs of uti, so I had a trip to the vets,the felt abdomen and said she had idiopathic cystitis, she was given 2 injections, pain killer and anti inflammatory, a course of pills for 5 days.
We do the course and nothing changed, still dribbles and constantly in and out the tray and licking. I wasn't happy so called the vet back, they said they didn't feel she needed further medical treatment and maybe change diet to a urine care by hills. A few days later she stopped pooping she would strain but nothing was produced as well as constantly still trying to pee.
I again ring vets and make another appointment, again a feel of abdomen and a diagnosis of idiopathic cystitis, I was given loxicom and some stool softner. Told only to give the anti inflammatory with food as it can make them ill.
We had this for a week, now she had stopped eating and just picking the jelly off food, she also stopped drinking. Things were not improving after finishing the course, so they suggested an ultrasound of bladder and full blood work, I just Want this sorted for her. I'm preparing myself for the worse with her age, but ultrasound and bloods came back clear, just shown a thickened bladder lining. I go to pick her up, she did a pee in the carrier, but as soon as we get home she is back to going in and out the tray and producing a dribble. By now I'm stressed as she still doesn't seem to be drinking.im adding water to wet food which is still being left. This past weekend she stopped peeing altogether and started to pee a few drops on the bed, she was also now squatting wherever and trying to pee but doing nothing. They ask me to get a urine sample as it's the one thing not tested, but now she's not peeing at all,so they take her in, as she had a uterine tumour a few years back they want to do a full xray and get a pee sample, again xray clear no masses no blockages as she had peed while under sedation, urine sent to lab,another pain killer given and another course of loxicom, we get home and she instantly goes to tray but does no pee, we can't figure whether now it's psychological, all night she didn't urinate so vet wanted her back today. They press her bladder and she pees over the table a stream, they say her bladder feels less imflamed than yesterday when it was like a rock, vet seemed concerned she had a floppy tail as she just wasn't moving it just drooped down, so they Test for reaction by squeezing parts, and yes she has feeling in it.
Another pain killing injection and to update tomorrow, I also get given some hills veterinary and purina urine foods to try, I get home and again she is trying to wee and nothing comes.
Have tried to think what triggered this but just can't as nothing changed, the other cats have are 3 yrs old so nothing changed there, have bought a plug in to see if that alters things as I'm all out of ideas only option now is to put her in a room alone with the plug in to see if she stops stressing away from the other 2 cats. I just don't know what else I can do
