Tigris to the white coats!

[Barbara]

Christmas time: I came home late from the office yesterday and in the evening Siegmar and I noted that the Tigris boy went to the litterbox every ten minutes only leaving some drops. This morning it is less then some drops and so we are off to the vets now

He is meowing and definitely not happy. Fister, Boots, Mishi, Storm- please think of us

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Poor Tigris!! This is no fun thing hey, on the day before Christmas.... . Be a good boy at the white coats; maybe you will get an extra X-mas treat if you behave well!!

Good luck with Tigris, Barbara! Sounds like he has an UTI...

[Barbara]

Everything ok for the moment.

Looks as if we noticed it early. Tigris' bladder was empty so he didn't need to be catheterized

He got a depot injection of antibiotics which should help him over the holidays. Poor boy was yowling all the time, scaring two dogs who were in the waiting room as well.

After we came home from the vet's we had to leave again to make sure the humans won't starve during Christmas time. When we came home Tigris said hello to the door, then went to the litterbox and had a not so big but ok pee.

I bought a chicken leg extra for him that will be boiled so that he can drink chicken broth. He's not a big drinker but he has to to get rid of the UTI.

Hope Tigris continues to improve.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Tigris! Not a nice Christmas present for your purrent! Please be a good boy and drink lots of liquids!

[Randi]

Oh poor Tigris boy, it does sound like the start of an UTI, but you're so lucky to have a mommy who noticed right away. We hope the antibiotics will help - seems like it already has worked a bit.

Tigris will you tell your mom and dad to get some Hills S/D, that is supposed to dissolve the crystals. Fister says he's sure you'll like it, as there a bit more fat in it, so it's tastier.

Barbara and Siegmar, just keep an eye on him, I'm sure he'll be OK during Christmas.

We're sending hugs, kisses and scritchies - and wishing you a wonderful Christmas with tons of goodies!

Oh no, poor Tigris. It's not fun to be sick at Christmas.

Jazz sends you lots of headbumpies and says since she's gotten so much pratice with the kittens she now knows how to give a wonderful grooming. She sends her love and hopes you feel better soon.

Merry Christmas sweet Tigris.

My Goodness! All these babies having problems right here at Christmas... I am just glad you caught it as soon as you did and it was such a simple matter to take care of.. Our poor babies... They can't tell us when something is wrong and they have to depend on us to notice and get them the help they need.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh no, poor Tigris, and poor Barbara and Siegmar! At least you caught it early enough so the vet was still open. Hopefully the antibiotics will do the trick and this nasty UTI will be gone before you know it.

The antibiotics worked the first time on Tubby, but Peanut had to go back for a second round.

Head bumpies to you Tigris, hopefully you'll feel better real soon!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Barbara, I'm so sorry to hear that Tigris is sick. Luckily you caught this in it's early stages. Now be a good boy and drink plenty of fluids. Get well soon Tigris.

[Killearn Kitties]

Aww, Tigris, what a rotten Christmas present! Please be a good boy and eat all your chicken broth!

Get well soon. The girls send healing headbumpies.

[sirrahbed]

oh Barbara! I am sorry to hear that Tigris boy is sick! But - very glad that you caught early and I hope he is feeling better very soon! Hugs for Meowmie

[Barbara]

Tigris is much better today- although when he pees it's not the normal flood but a smaller litter cookie.

Problem is he doesn't like the chicken soup (after some first slurps )

I definitely do not want to suggest the import of clam juice but big Tigris being a finicky eater our invention is challenged.

He says thank you for all the Get well wishes and sends extra headbumpies to Jazz
