I do hope the injections work quickly and Dexter feels better soon!

I hope that the injections work and that you'll be able to keep him stress free. I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

One time Sunny became so stressed out that he kept jumping in and out of the litter boxes and he was also only peeing very small amounts of urine. He didn't have any blood though. I kept trying to think what had changed that would stress him out. I first thought that it was because I had my carpet cleaned but that wasn't it. It turned out to be his collar. He was so stressed out from wearing his new collar that it made him sick. Now he's the only one that doesn't wear one. This was a very expensive collar.

That's good news! Moon had a similar problem when he was around 3 and the vet told me to put him on the special urinary tract food even though it wasn't a blockage, it's good to prevent those in male cats if possible. I've had Bean on it as well since he was a kitten and he never had any urinary tract issues. They both love it. I use the Purina ONE® Urinary Tract Dry and canned foods. Feel Better Decker!!!! And as I always say whenever one of our babies is sick, Thank God you're in a PT home!

Decker, I sure hope you feel better fast. Those darned UTI are so frustrating.

I guess THAT took his mind off his discomfort for a few moments! Feel better, Decker!

This was a very expensive collar. Of course! It would HAVE to be, right? I mean, that is bound to be the case!

Couldn't be some $1 store one, oh no, not with a CAT!

No blockage - good news!
UTI - not good news.

I hope the injections work and Decker is feeling better real soon.

I hope the injections take care of Decker and he's feeling better in no time. Thanks for the update.

I'm sure that the injection and anti-cramp med will have Decker feeling better in no time. Ever since Puddy left a bloody puddle at her food dish, I've made a point of keeping Clindamycin and a pain med on hand just in case she or any one of the Fur Posse got a UTI at night or on a weekend when these things usually occur, of course. LOL
