He's not a happy little boy this morning. He doesn't want me to touch him, and forget picking him up We have an 11:00 vet appt and then I have to go to work.

What struck me was how he was fine while you were home for two days, then the day you go back to work he has a flare up again. I'm also wondering if it isn't stress related.

Good luck at the vet and I hope they can figure out what is going on with poor Mystic.

You might want to talk with the vet about having the urine cultured so you know exactly what you are dealing with. He may have developed a resistent strain of bacteria, which would require very different antibiotics to treat. (One of my little girls has that problem with URI's so we just go straight to the Zithromax and skip the Clavamox).

I'm sorry your Mystic is having health problems. Not only is it bad for her but stressful for you both. I do hope vet can figure out what is going on and get her better. According to your post, you're at work now. I'll check back later today. 12:53pm

What a long, long day. I have been crying for most of it. He had emergency surgery.... still not sure what happened, but the part I understood was that he has a blood clot causing the problem. He was also beats away from heart failure when we got him to the vet at 11:00.

I have no idea how much the surgery cost. Nor do I really care. The vet said I had 3 choices:
euthanize him (NO!)
let him die on his own (NO NO NO NO!)
or surgery

Lets just say I told her to do the surgery. And I cried. A lot.

She had to stabilize him in order to get him strong enough to do the surgery. He was in bad shape. I do not understand how he went from happy, playful boy yesterday morning to dying boy within 24 hours.

Oh, and absolutely, positively ZERO crystals. None. But his urine was pure red. He has a serious infection that caused a blood clot... or maybe the clot caused the infection? I really, honestly, do not understand much of it. Manily because I was too busy crying to listen and comprehend what was being said.

He's having a hard time waking up from the surgery. The vet isn't sure why -- if its the stress of the day...the major pain meds/steroids/antibiotics/anisthesia combos... or that he was just that close to dying.

I am just go glad we got him there in time. Prayers please for my boy. I won;t have him home til Saturday night at the earliest.

Prayers from RI, hope you have some news from the vet.
