:( bloody urine :( *NEWER UPDATE* 4-5-07

[jenluckenbach]

So Sterling F I N A L L Y gave (or should I say was forced to give) a urine sample.....

Very high on the blood count, very miniscule amount of sediment.

So we are not worried about crystals, but mostly infection.

He will get Baytril and after 10 (of the 14 days) he needs to have another urine test. If the red count is still high the vet wants an x-ray.

So, that's all I know for now. He is still acting very much like himself, but that urine is SO bloody.

Poor Sterling! I guess the fact that Sterling is pretty much back to his usual sweet little self is a big positive. Jen, my prayers continue for your adorable boy and his speedy recovery. Please give him some get better soon scritchies and smoochies from me?

Sterling is pretty much back to his usual sweet little self is a big positive.

Actually, he never showed any symptoms except the bloody urine. If he didn't do it on the kitchen floor I may never have even noticed.

Awe... poor Sterling. Baytril works really well on infections. My FIV guys always got rid of their URIs!

Let's hope the Baytril works fast. At least you say he's acting like himself and that's something. Prayers still on the rise....

I hope that the Baytril will cure Sterling's UTI quickly and I also hope that there's nothing else going on with him.

Storm had a UTI in Jan. and he also never showed any symptoms and he was also on Baytril and it did the trick.

Thank Goodness you noticed the blood.Sometimes cats show no sign of anything until it's way too late.
I'm very happy you knew which one to bring in.
I don't think I ever used Baytril Before.It must be stronger than Clavamox.
I'm glad to know about it now.
Praying for her to get better.
