Oh no, too many sick kitties! When I first got Speckles she had about 5 bladder infections within 2 years. We tried different medications and finally found the one that works (Baytril). It took about a week to kick in and to see her feeling better. I never did come up with an answer as to why so many infections in a short time but at that time I had 1 litterbox for 2 cats so I immediately got Speckles one of her own. I also switched them from tap water to filtered water and that helped as well. Max was also causing her quite a bit of stress (and still is) because he would continously stalk her. Now we are in a bigger condo and she was lots of places to call her own. I did use a syringe to get more water in her and I also changed the water twice a day to make sure it was fresh. She's also overweight but does manage to clean herself OK.

Her last episode was Nov 2001 and had been good since then however with her being 16 this year and with failing kidneys I'll have to keep a close watch. Assuming that's it's just a bladder infection, Tubby will be fine with proper medication. As with all antibiotics you should make sure you use up the whole dose even though she appears to feel better.

Hope this helps. Get Well, Tubby! We're praying for you.

Slick
