Kim, I'm kind of surprised that your vet didn't do a urine culture on him. Then she would be able to tell which antibiotic would work the best at treating his UTI. I know it takes about a week though before you'd get the results.
Stress can certainly be causing his problems. I'm still dealing with Storm's problems and he was at the vets again yesterday because he peed on my carpet and on a blue kitty place mat. I never saw him do this so I just had to guess which cat it was and I was right. He's now back on metacam to help pain and inflammation. They found some blood in his urine again but he had no stones,crystals or bacteria.
I contacted Nancy about this and she feels it's emotional and she got the feeling that he feels like he's being closed in or that there are too many cats. I hope that it's not a behavioral problem and that he's not too stressed out.
I sure hope that Pouncer's UTI clears up quickly and completely. Maybe he should go back again for another recheck a few weeks after he's finished with is meds. Please continue to keep us updated about him. I also wanted to let you know that if he does have the PU surgery that this won't prevent UTI's. He may actually have more of them since his opening would be larger like a females. Good luck and please take care. (((HUGS)))
