Hello everyone. I have been reading your forums and Pet of the Day for a couple of years now, and this is the first time I've needed your help/advice.
Tinkerbelle came up with what they called UTI (they also called it cystitis so I am confused)
On September 16 she was taken to the emergency veterinarian as I noticed her having frequent trips to the litter box, and with very little output. It was in the evening, and the regular vet was closed. There they did a urine collection, a urinalysis, where they determined that it contained struvite crystals, cocci and a large amount of blood (but not visible to the naked eye)
So she was given a shot of pan aqueous a prescription for Clavamox 62.5mg twice per day for 10 days.
All went well, and she finished her antibiotics then returned to her own vet for a retest to make sure all was normal. She was tested and the result came back, that her test was completely normal again.
Perfect.
Then four days later I noticed her back in the box and straining and now I could even see the blood residue. Back to the regular vet and another urinalysis, this time it showed increased levels of protein, crystals, and a high alkalinity, as well as the blood.
This has been going on for a month now.
So she was prescribed 14 days of Clavamox once again this time four days longer, and I was given the Dissolution Diet, canned and dry food which until today she refused to eat.
She was fine and seemed to be doing so much better, until during the night, then she began vomiting, she will vomit five or six times, at first it's liquid with a bit of food and then it is water, and finally foamy stuff in the water.
She seems to be in discomfort when picked up sometimes, but not always.
This morning she ate the gravy off of the canned dissolution diet and kept that down for 3 or more hours, then was sick again.
I am just beside myself now, I dont know what to do and I feel like I could overreact at everything that happens now. To top it off it's the Thanksgiving weekend here (I'm in Canada) and everything is closed. I dont know if I should rush her off to the emergency vet, or try to wait. Has anyone ever experienced this or anything like it when dealing with a UTI? If anyone could offer any insight it would be greatly appreciated.
This vomiting just started overnight, and we have had three sessions since.
My poor baby
