How is little Pouncer today?
Oh no, poor Pouncer! Luna can relate to this, just a couple of days ago, she had a bad bladder infection again and is now on Marbocyl.
It's so hard with diets when you have more than one cat, it's the same here. Instead of a diet food, I have UroPet paste to mix it under Luna's wet food (good thing is that Lily only eats dry food). My vet also gave me a product called Astorin FLUTD-Aid, which is a little pill that tastes like cheese, and Luna eats it without problems.

Well, so far, so good. I've been out of town visiting my mom for a few days, and left hubby to care for Pouncer. I have not seen him straining to pee yet today, and right now he's intent of stealing my chicken sandwich :rolleyes: I would say he's back to normal :p Boy that medicine takes effect quickly!
He LOVES the Hills CD. Thank God!!! I have been giving him 1/4 of the wet CD each night too while everyone gets their regular wet food. He seems quite happy and content to eat the wet CD in the same room as everyone else eating theirs, and he doesn't try to ignore his food to steal from them. I haven't even oipened the 20 pound bag of cat food yet... still working on the last 20 poound bag.... its gonna be a long time til I can put everyone on the same food.
He's still straining. The anitbiotics apparently weren't enough, so we have another vet appointment for another urinalysis on Thursday. Wish my little boy luck. The vet said if this continues and remains unsolved that he'll be looking at possible complete blockage soon, and then we all know not only is it life threatening, its also very expensive to have the surgery to fix him.
Poor Pouncer. :(
Is he eating his correct food? Maybe the s/d was stopped too soon. (I know, he hated it. :rolleyes: )
I'm so sorry to hear that Pouncer is sick again. It's so frustrating when these nasty UTIs never seem to stop! It's the same with Luna here.
Besides, everyone who ever had a bladder infection knows what our poor babies are going through.
We wish you a speedy recovery, Pouncer, and Lily sends purrs and headbumpies.

So sorry to hear that Pouncer is still having problems. Good luck and good thoughts to both of you that the problem can be taken care of without the need for surgery.
I think I'm going to be a nervous wreck before tomorrow gets here. He's strained allll day and is currently in the box AGAIN. As far as I can tell, he's not done anything in the box. Thank God we have a morning appointment or I'll go nuts with worry.
I don't care how much it costs -- I'll find the money SOMEHOW to pay for him.

I know just how you feel. We've all been there at one time or another. It's so hard when our babies are sick. All fingers and paws crossed here. I'll be watching for an uppydate tomorrow. (((hugs}}}
Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that Pouncer is still not doig well. :( I sure hope that his new food will help him so he won't have to have the dreaded PU surgery. Storm says it's a long and painful recovery and then you look and pee just like a girl kitty. Good luck tomorrow and please keep us updated about him. :)
Storm will also be going to the vet tomorrow for another urinalysis. He's supposed to have one every 6 months and I noticed that he's been licking his pee area and the night before I left on my trip he was a little bloody there too. Storm feels Pouncer's pain and sends extra headbumpies and scritches to him. Please get well soon Pouncer.
Awwwww porr Pouncer!! I hope the vets has good news for you!!
O, I hope Pouncer is feeling much better!!! Our Miss BooBoo Kitty(RIP 5/22/04), when she was older(and a kidney kitty)developed UTI's. She perplexed the vet, because sometimes it took a long time to find the right antibiotic. At our house, there are several cats on different vet diets for various health problems!! What I find funny, is that they healthy cats love those diets!!! Prayers for Pouncer!!! GET WELL SOON!!!
I really feel for the poor guy overnight - I hope he is able to pass SOMETHING, his poor kidneys...If your vet thought tomorrow was ok, I guess it is, of course. If it gets bad overnight, and there is an emergency number, they could pass a catheter...sorry, I am just worried, but not as much as you, I know!
Prayers for dear Pouncer! Hope to hear good news soon - he recovered before, so hopefully a few more meds will do it!

I don't know what to do..... he's been fine all week, and today he started straining again. :(
My heart is breaking, and right now I KNOW I can't afford anything else (Xrays and such). I hsve not worked in 3 weeks.... no incoming money AT ALL and a lot going out.
Oh dear! There ARE cat treats out now that have cranberry in them, I have seen them...but that is for future.
I don't know where you are and can't help - but some vets will allow a person to work for "vet dollars".
Do you have time to do a barter thing like that?
