Mystic is seriously sick!

**catnapper** · 07-28-2011, 05:19 AM

I noticed the other day that Mystic was licking himself. I looked and nothing was raw or inflamed (but it was a little bit "excited") so I decided to just watch him for a few days.

This morning, hubby saw him squatting. I got out of bed to look at his backside, and he SCREAMED. His bladder was full, but now is completely empty.... its all landed in my lap. He emptied his bladder in my lap!

At least he's not blocked. He's also out and about instead of hiding, but definitely wants to be left alone.

Its 6 AM here and the vet doesn't open til 9. Its gonna be a long few hours and I have already developed a stress headache. Any ideas between now and the vet????

Saying prayers for your sweet Mystic. Poor fellow.

I'm so sorry about poor Mystic. No advice for you, just prayers that he'll start feeling better as soon as your vet sees him.

Prayers for dear Mystic (and you) that this is something that can be fixed up easily.

WE are sending All Our Prayers for Dear Mystic

and we are praying that he is all better soon.

He certainly did give you a surprise.

Poor Mystic.

By now, he has probably seen a vet. I hope it's something that is easily cured and he will feel better soon! Sending lots of good wishes.

What a long, long day!

I had to work so hubby and Cameron took Mystic to the vet. I hate not being there when the vet checks my guys, but at least he got there.

The vet thinks he was blocked, at least partially, and unblocked when I picked him up to check his belly. His pee-pee is bruised and he has crystals. He has CD food and Clavimox. Now I have three boys with crystal problems.... Pouncer, Mikey, Mystic. Can you hear the heavy sigh??

Hubby said Mystic hid behind the mini fridge the vet has in the office for meds. When I called mid-day, they said he was very scared. That broke my heart

Whenever I called for Pouncer they told me that he was chilling out and loving the attention the techs gave him. But poor Mystic was terrified.

He's home now, content to be home and chilling out on the bed. Thanks for htte prayers and thoughts

So glad he is home!

Hmm, try to think positive. With 3 on the special food, you don't have to worry about someone eating the "wrong" stuff!

OK, I tried.

Praying that the food and Clavimox help him to feel better quickly. Even though by the sounds of it, he feels better just being HOME!

Yup, my thoughts exactly!

I'm going to try and feed the girls and Harry one food and the other boys seperately --- soooo much easier said than done. Otherwise I'm going to have to feed prescription food to 7 cats. I did it when I had 5 cats, so whats two more?

The funny thing? As I sat cross-legged on the bedroom floor and a stream of pee flew across the room and into my lap, all I could was, "drat, I can't get up and grab a container for the pee!" I kept thinking the pee was "wasted" on my jammies and comforter. Strange thoughts go through your head as your "baby" is sick.

I hope Mystic continues to improve.

**krazyaboutkatz** · 07-29-2011, 12:42 AM

I'm sorry to hear that he too has crystals.

Hopefully the new diet and clavimox will help him feel better soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

I have to feed Alani & Blaze a different diet than my other four cats because they don't do well on a grain free diet. Luckily they're already used to eating in the hall bathroom away from the other four. Good luck with the new feeding routine.

**catnapper** · 07-29-2011, 05:17 PM

My silly boys! Pouncer and Mikey hated the CD food and refused to eat it. Now that they don't need to eat it, they want it

Mystic is still straining and is just awful to medicate - it taked two of us to get the liquid into his mouth. I could kick hubby for allowing the vet to give me liquid meds! I much prefer a good old pill over liquid any day.

Aw, so sorry about Mystic. Extra prayers and luvies for him!!!

**moosmom** · 07-29-2011, 08:07 AM

Kim,

I'm so sorry to hear about Mystic. Crystals is one of the reasons I've changed dry food for my cats. I give them Buffalo Wilderness. Haven't had a problem since.

Thoughts and prayers for Mystic. I'm here if you want to talk!

**Pinot's Mom** · 07-29-2011, 11:55 AM

So glad Mystic is home; but I'm sorry about the crystals. I am sure he'll continue to improve. Good luck! Kitty kisses for Mystic.

"I give them Buffalo Wilderness. Haven't had a problem since." Donna, I finally became convinced; it took 4 years. I bought Wilderness about two weeks ago and, after we work down the science diet a little more, I'll start the incorporation of the new food. I'm just a slow learner.
