My Puddy is sick again. *UPDATE*

I also missed seeing this thread. I'm so sorry to hear that Puddy is so sick. I hope that the meds will help her get well quickly and that she'll feel better soon.

My Storm also has a possible UTI which I caught yesterday morning. I'm still waiting to hear about his bloodwork and urinalysis results. He's on 2 kinds of meds. He sympathizes with Puddy.

Puddy had a so-so night; still a little restless and she didn't sleep w/me because my bed is so high and she can't jump up. When I lift her up, she gets mad cuz I think she wants to do it herself. So she slept in the guest room which has officially become Puddy's room; she has food, water and a litter box in there. She's doing ok this morning but she's still not herself. I only gave her the antibiotic last night, no pain meds and no antihistamine. I wanted the tic to stop long enough for her to be able to put her head down. Poor little girl couldn't even do that because of the tic. So, hopefully, she got some rest. I did give her the antihistamine this morning, though, because she's sneezing. This house sounds like a hospital emergency ward. Everyone has been sneezing and crying. The worst, though, was when Puddy passed blood in her urine and even a blood clot! That freaked me out! But none of that now, so the clindamycin is definitely working. I'll be glad to get May over with. It's been quite a hectic and sickly month for all of us.

I awoke to Puddy crying again. She's been going in and out of the litterbox but she's peeing and pooping and no blood either, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe one of the meds isn't agreeing w/her but I have to keep her on the clindamycin for the UTI. I suppose I could try stopping the antihistamine, although it would help w/the sneezing. But if it's causing her problems, maybe I should stop it. I just don't know. Of course, here it is Sunday and a holiday weekend yet. Ideas, anyone, please????

I am sorry - I have been away and didn't see this thread.
While I am happy to hear it is not Puddy's remaining kindey I don't have an idea what's going on. The antibiotics should have improved her symptoms by now....
Just keeping paws crossed for Puddy.

I'd stop the antihistime for the day.
Try feeding her before the antibotic doseage (help her tummy).

I'm so sorry to hear of your Puddy's illness and all your household health woes. I hope all of you will be on the road to recovery ASAP and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I didn't give her the antihistamine this morning and she ate some canned Fancy Feast gourmet chicken, a lot of it. The antihistamine has an appetite stimulant in it, though. But she kept it down, no more crying, so I felt ok w/leaving her to go to the office for a couple of hours. When I got home, she was eating again and wanted to be downstairs w/the rest of the fur posse. Right now she's in the enclosed patio room and seems to be doing well. So hopefully she's going to get better and this weekend won't stress her out too much.
