Thanks everybody.

The good news is it's only a UTI. I guess as female cats get older and can't/don't groom themselves as well as they should, they get more prone to UTIs because of the positioning of their plumbing. So, she's on 1/2 Baytril for 10 days and I have to help her keep her butt clean with baby wipes, and I'll probably trim her fur in that area to help her keep it clean also. I felt so bad because I tried to get a urine sample this morning and all I got were a couple of dribbles and they were all red - poor little girl.

And the not so good news - but not necessarily bad news - is that her left thyroid is enlarged. They took blood and will have the results on Monday. He said if she has hyperthyroidism it's no big deal and it can be managed with meds. He noticed how she had licked the bottom of her leg clean and he said that might be a symptom of the hyperthyroidism which makes sense because you get all tense and uptight with hyperthyroidism. So if we control it with meds, hopefully she'll stop licking herself bare and maybe....just maybe...she'll relax a little more with CJ and maybe actually enjoy playing with him.....maybe?

So, all in all not a bad trip. At least I know the UTI is being dealt with. I scolded her and asked her why she didn't tell me sooner that she wasn't feeling good - the little snot. I've also been shooting water into her to make sure she's drinking enough to help flush it out. She just loves that part.

Thanks again for all the good thoughts and prayers. She's going to be good as new in no time.
