Poor Corkscrew

[Uabassoon]

I guess he has a UTI right now and he is not a happy camper. We went to the vet yesterday morning to get a urine sample done, the vet sent him home with antibiotics and some food before the results even came out because Corkscrew yelled the second he touched his bladder. The vet called this morning when I was in the shower with the results he said that there was some blood in his urine but other than that everything else seemed ok. He's supposed to call back later to actually discuss with me and see if I have any questions.

We tried to let Corkscrew out of the bathroom last night (I had him in there to monitor him) but first thing he did was just on the couch and try to pee, then he ran to a corner and tried to pee. So until the antibiotics start kicking in I guess he is going to have to stay in the bathroom which he is NOT happy about! Hopefully be feels better soon so he can come out and play again. I'll update when I actually get a chance to talk to the vet.

Oh poor Corkscrew, he must feel terrible. :( I do hope the antibiotics will kick in soon!

Sending lots of positive thoughts and gentle scritchies, and please give him some kisses from me.

Corkscrew yelled the second he touched his bladder.

First thing he did was jump on the couch and try to pee,
then he ran to a corner and tried to pee.

The "attempting to pee" with nothing being produced sounds like a
Urinary Blockage ... and not "just" a UTI.

Ask the Vet if he checked the urine for traces of "Crystals",
and/or if there's possibly a "stone" blocking his bladder.

Aw poor Corkscrew. My Puddy just had a UTI and she did the same thing except that she didn't jump on the furniture. But she had blood and clots in he urine. The antibiotics cleared it right up. He'll be fine but it's scary to see, that's for sure. We feel so bad for them. Hope he feels better really soon.

Awww! Poor baby! I HOPE those meds kick in soon and give him some relief. It is so sad when they are in pain...

On the message the vet said no crystals, and other than the blood everything else looked fine, but I will ask him when I actually am able to talk to him. We've been playing phone tag all day. Yesterday he was peeing in small amounts though, when we went to the vet his bladder wasn't very full as he peed in the carrier on the way over. I'm also checking the litterbox since he is isolated and he is peeing, today the pee biscuits do seem bigger than yesterday, they are still small in comparison to normal though.

Aw poor Corkscrew.... . It's no fun to being "locked up" in the bathroom ..... :(
I hope that the vet can make him better asap :)
