back now, with a little update for you. I don't feel like updating his words in my own words but I've finally got an email from doctor coast three days ago (who just had a surgery himself) - never got to take my little chance to the vet office because no doctor could see us and we only had two days left before I went off on the roadtrip from west to east.
what happened seems was okay with doctor coast and chance is acting perfectly ever so - none has happened again since I started this thread - see his saying below ..
If Chance is only occasionally having blood in the urine then I am not too worried about it. There are quite a few cats with what we call "feline lower urinary tract disease". We don't really know what causes it but typically it is a happy, healthy cat that occasionally has blood in the urine. It can be controlled sometimes with special diets but it is not unusual for cats that have FLUTD to have this problem periodically for years. If he is straining to urinate and it is painful then sometimes we will use medication to make the cat more comfortable, but as long as they are able to urinate it is more of a nuisance than a serious medical problem. The official recommendation is that if there is blood in the urine once in a while and no other problems we don't worry about it. If it is constant bloody urine, the cat is very painful when they urinate or they are unable to urinate then we need to see them to check things out. It is a very frustrating disease since we don't really know what causes it.
..does all of this sounds ok?
oh and I don't know if this person want its username appear here because we have talked through PMs, suggested me to try some cranberry extract capsules for chance along, prevent crystals as well if they have not formed a plug in urinacy tract already. but he seems okay and is going in litterbox fine lately, I'd want to take him to the vet as soon as I can anyway.
thank you, sorry for the delay.
