All I can tell you is that when I started Ming on amitryptiline, there were no more blockages and no more blood in his urine. He has been fine as long as he gets one pill per day. They aren't expensive, only $10 for 100 pills from Pet Meds. You need a prescription from you vet to get the pills from Pet Meds. Maybe you could talk to your vet about this.
I really hope Jim can maybe start on some amitryptiline - and that the ultrasound shows nothing major at all!
My sister had bladder dysfunction with her MS, and was on the same med (called Baclofen). I guess it is very commonly used for a variety of mammals!
Prayers for sweet Jim. :love::love:
Jim has been on amitriptyline for years!!!!
Prayers coming, please keep us posted.
I'm so sorry to hear that he's having more problems again.:( Hopefully the ultrasound will tell you what's going on with him and hopefully it's something that's easily treatable. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
Poor Jim! He HAS been on that med for years...how frustrating for him and you.
More prayers that an answer is found for both your sakes.:love:
awe... poor Jim. I'll be keeping him (and you and charlie) in my thoughts and prayers. Hope the ultrasound will show some "postive" results, and not cancer.
I will take Jim for the ultrasound next Monday, Aug 17.
He is doing fine right now. And I would love to NOT have to spend this money. But I am so worried that his troubles will return as soon as we stop the medication.
If it would turn out to be bladder stones, I am sure surgery will be in order.
Prayers for Jim, too. Ultrasounds aren't cheap, that's for sure. I may do one for Boo before I consider surgery. Our poor furkids.
I feel so sorry for both you and Jim. I feel badly that Jim has had to be on this med for years and has still gotten blocked. My best wishes for you and your kitty!:love:
NOTHING!!! absolutely normal across the board!
No explaination for the incident.
Those Doctors must just LOVE people like me who bring absolutely healthy pets in for expensive procedures. :rolleyes:
WHEW! That's good news! http://bestsmileys.com/happy/5.gif How's he doing??
He's been doing really well. Well enough that I wasn't even sure I would take him for this test. But I feared a relapse, so I needed to be sure. I would have bet money that it was bladder stones, but no sign of that was found.
Well, I'm glad it showed nothing. But I'm sorry that you can't figure out what is wrong with him. I know how frustrating that can be. I'll just hope that he remains doing well.
Wonderful news!
I just lit a candle to celebrate :D (and in gratitude and with prayers there isn't still something else going on): http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...ng&cid=8988527
