Poor Sterling! I can only imagine how frustrated you must be with this other vet. Did the vet even examine him? Prayers that Sterling doesn't get to feeling worse before his regular vet can give him a proper going over.

He's been on a (bloody) peeing spree around the house.POOR BABY!!!
Even though I was dissapointed in the other vet, I think I can understand her view point. At the time of the appointment we were not 100% certain it was Sterling with the blood, so since she could not get any urine she "probably" did not want to give a medication until we were all certain.
Well, I am C E R T A I N now!! Tomorrow cannot come soon enough. He obviously needs something stronger (or different) than clavamox.
On the plus side, he is not acting sick in any other way.

Just a suggestion, but next time you take a cat to the vet for urinary problems, don't put any absorbant things inside (ie; towels, papers), they can get urine from the carrier but not if it soaks into anything.
Most likely they didn't want to give meds to a cat they weren't positive had the issues. It makes sense.
Clavamox is a pretty good antibiotic. Sterling may have simply had a reacurrence. Where I work we sometimes use other meds if Clavamox doesn't work, but they all come in pills, not liquids.
If Sterling were my cat I'd want them to do a urinalysis as soon as I could get some urine in, and possibly an x-ray for bladder stones depending on what the urine results are.
Good luck.

Well, he is at the vet and I am waiting for some info. I guess I should not have put a towel in, but I hated the thought of his fur soaking up the urine if he peed in the carrier.
