    Healing hugs to poor Mindy!

    Some PTrs have used pepcid for tummy upsets. Maybe your vet would agree to try that.

    Thank you so much, everybody! Mindy's appetite has returned, but now that the omeprazole is out of her system, she's back to burping and gulping. Her wet chin is visible in the picture.
    Thank you, Candace. I will ask my vet about Pepcid (famotidine).

    Mindy will beat this thing!

    I am wondering why my cat peed right beside her litter box. She never misses, it was very clean and she has two to choose from. It was a LOT of pee too. I don't want to drag her to the vet for one pee. She's a cat, obviously would prefer to die before going there. I just know that she is getting very old and could be anywhere from 15 to 20, just a guess as she won't tell. Is this what elderly cats do occasionally? Her appetite is good, she grooms and is very mobile and spoiled quite properly. Should I just keep an eye on her and take her to the vet if it happens again. What would you do? Thank you!🤔

    If a kitty pees outside the litterbox, she's trying to tell you that something is wrong.
    One possibility is that, as a senior kitty, she has arthritis, and it's painful to climb into the litter box.
    But she also could have other things going on (besides a urinary tract infection) that could make her do that, like kidney disease or diabetes.
    I know it's an inconvenience, for you and your cat, but I would take her to the vet.
