Worried

Isabel is showing some blood in her urine. :( I called my vet and am bringing her in tomorrow AM for a urine test.

I have never found blood in one of my cats' urine before. She is only about 4 months old and I am really worried.

She told me something was wrong. I went in to scoop boxes tonight and she hopped in while I was scooping (she never has done that before) to pee...so I figured I'd wait and scoop that...and I noticed a drop of blood on top of the tiny (dime sized) pee spot. She went a few more times while I was in the cat room, always a small amount (like a peanut M&M) and I found another red-tinged spot.

I hope it is nothing serious. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and is playing right now.

Let us know what the vet says when you take her in.

Poor little girl. Hopefully its just a bladder infection and she'll clear up nicely with antibiotics.

may pt be with you for your hopefully speedy recovery. isabel is such a cutie!

I'll be praying for that it's nothing serious. This happened to Tuna not to long ago (the morning that we were supposed to go out of town!). They put him on some antibiotics and gave him some special food and we haven't had any problems since.

Poor widdle Isabel! She is just too cute to be sick! It sounds like a uriniary tract infection ... should be able to get some antibiotics to clear it up!
Keep us posted! ;)

This happened to Sammy some time back and it was a bladder infection. I wasn't as good as you were and didn't notice it until I heard him scream bloody murder and found a huge bloody puddle in the middle of the floor. Thank God he hasn't had any problems since. It sounds like you caught it early though.

Either way, good luck and let us know how it goes at the vet's office!

Poor kittie, sounds like a bladder infection (UTI). She should be on the road to recovery as soon as the vet prescribes something.

Cystitis is miserable for both cats and humans, and the frequent need to urinate is very uncomfortable. Fortunately, antibiotics will take care of it after a few days and the vet may prescribe another medication to calm the bladder and make her more comfortable. You may find that the problem will come back occasionally but that it will will stop completely as she gets older, that's what happened with a few of mine. It's good that you noticed it early on and that you are acting so quickly.

Thoughts are with you.Let us know what the vet has to say*Positive thoughts*

She'll be in our prayers, hopefully it's an easy fix!

Sounds like a bladder infection to me too! Don't worry, your vet will give her meds to take care of this :)
Big hug for Isabel (love that name!!)

Yep, UTI was my first thought too. Seems odd for one so young, but at least she was smart enought to "tell" you and you were smart enough to "hear" her. ;)

Hope it's just a UTI and antibiotics will clear it up! :)

I hope everything turns out to be okay. Think of when humans show blood in their urine - often it is a simple bladder or kidney infection, which causes frequent and sometimes painful urination with a bit of blood, but which can be cured quickly with a bit of antibiotic. Best of wishes for you and your kitty - and congratulations to you for being so observant.

wE ARE PRAYING FOR ISABEL THAT SHE WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
IT MAY WELL BE A BLESSING THAT YOU FOUND THIS OUT SO SOON,AS THE VET CAN NOW GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER AND CLEAR THINGS UP,BEFORE THE INFECTION GETS TOO BAD.
