Uh oh, I think one of mine has a bladder infection :(

[lizzielou742]

My youngest baby, Tabitha, has a bladder infection or something of the like. I noticed this morning that she went into the litterbox twice immediately after I finished cleaning it out, and each time, she only went a very small amount. Since I've been home from work, I've noticed her doing the same thing three more times, plus she urinated on a plastic bag I left lying on the floor!! She has NEVER EVER gone outside the box before. Poor baby! I'm worried about her.

I'm calling the vet first thing in the morning. I luckily have some "No-Sorb" stuff handy, so tonight I'll keep her with some water in a separate room from Tito and Sophie to see if I can get a urine sample to take to the vet. At least I caught it early (at least, this is the first visible sign she's given). I just feel so bad for her, this is the first time this has happened to one of my cats. Luckily I knew from PT exactly what was going on!!

Here is a picture of my baby Tabitha, please send some loving thoughts her way -



And here she is when she was a bit younger (she's 1 1/2 now) -

LizzieLou! How nice to see you again!

So you have a new baby, what a cutie. I'm sorry to hear she has a problem but it definitely sound like a UTI. I hope the vet can get her on some antibiotics and get it cleared up quickly.

I've missed you, Sophie and Tito. I hope this means you will be around more. Best of luck and let us know how it goes for Tabitha.

Your Tabitha is precious! I'm sorry she has wee wee problems! It sounds like you caught it early on, so surely a vet trip and some antibiotics will clear it up in no time! Please keep us updated!

I hope you can get in to see the vet tomorrow, let us know what he says...

****HI TABITHA! I love that picture of you.

Tabitha sure was a cute kitten and she's now a gorgeous adult. It sure sounds like a UTI to me also and I'm glad that you caught it early. I'm sure that once she's taken a round of antibiotics it should all clear up. Good luck and please keep us updated about her.

We had similar problem with Snoopy! This is how I collected a "pee-sample" for the vet! I put a plastic bag on the floor (on purpose, naughty me ), and as soon as I saw Snoopy pee on it, I took a new syringe and tried to suck up as much pee in it as possible. That was more than enough for the vet!
Good luck!!
