Help, Decker is peeing blood! UPDATE #38 - He's sick again!

I think I would take Decker right away this morning. Poor thing.

Morning update: I called and got an appointment for 9:15. The vet I see most the time now is off today but my old vet who is in high demand will fit him in. He's the vet who took care of Ripley when he was shot 14 years ago and again when Ripley almost died from a blood infection 6 years ago.

I'm glad I don't have to just drop him off but I bet I'll have to leave him because I think he's getting blocked. He just jumped in the litterbox and nothing but a couple drops came out. Poor little guy.

I'll update when I get back from the vet. Thanks for the prayers everyone.

I started my morning prayers w/Decker and Barney. Hopefully, he'll get relief very soon, poor sweet little guy. Praying for no blockage, just a UTI.

Sounds like a severe UTI and so it is good to take him in.

Prays that the vet visit goes well.

Please keep us updated.

I'm glad you're able to get him in this morning. Hopefully Decker will get the meds he needs and be more comfortable very soon.

UPDATE: Back from the vet with Decker. Dr. H said his bladder was mostly empty so no blockage and that he thinks it's a severe UTI. He gave him an antibiotic injection and another injection to help with the cramping and discomfort. He said to try to keep him stress-free and to bring him back in a week for a checkup and another injection if needed.

I'll be keeping a close eye on him to makes sure the injections are working. He's very stressed right now because he isn't used to other people handling him. The vet tech remembered him from being that little wild kitten from under the deck. She was hugging on him and telling him how handsome he is. Decker looked absolutely terrified but took it very well thank goodness.
