You are an excellent Mom and Mishi is very lucky to have you!!! You did the right thing by wisking him off to the ER vet!! My Boo(RIP 5/11/04) would use the bath tub as her litter box when she had a UTI!! Once at 0430, to get her point across, as I was getting ready for work, she 'peed" a few drops of red blood! Needless to day, off we went to the ER vet!! Good luck!! Sandra
