Lots more wellwishes and purrayers for dear Callie!

SO GLAD you brought her in and now she's on proper meds that will make her feel better!!!!!

Convenia is pretty expensive, but it is soooooo worth it for some of these kitties.

I'm glad to hear that she was seen by a vet and is now hopefully on the road to recovery. I bet she'll feel so much better soon. I think I read some where that if you feed your cat a lot of fish that this can cause urinary problems. I used to feed my cats some of the canned foods with fish in them but now I'm sticking to chicken and turkey based foods. I hope that she gets well soon.

She loves being held, but I have to catch her first. It's become a routine.

On to more serious stuff. She is still peeing blood and not peeing much. She won't eat the fish now, so maybe she feels the connection. She also won't drink. I gave her some more chicken this morning and mixed her Clavamox in it along with the tramadol and ACV. I've just read where ACV is wrong for some stones and I might have to try cranberry capsules or organic cranberry juice.

She gets a grain free diet, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. It must be the fish.

BTW, the new doc was totally for feeding wet food to kitties to keep them hydrated. She has 9 of her own. Wow!

I've thought about asking a friend who rescues for help with obtaining subq equipment to help hydrate her. Right now I'm adding water to the chicken juice to encourage her to drink. I don't have the money to determine what stones these are. I know from my own experience that you can't always determine the nature of the stone because they are so small that detecting them is hard.

Any thought or suggestions are welcome.

Maybe leave the ACV out for a little while. It might be affecting the taste of her food. I know you are avoiding fish, but maybe some canned salmon for med time might be an idea? Or canned chicken?

Also, mix some wet food with a bit of warm water to get more moisture into her.

Does anyone here know if the Clavamox and Tramadol need to be given separately?

The vet didn't give me any instructions on that. I know that initially the meds seemed to be working because she ate and then peed quite a bit on Friday afternoon. If I have to I can syringe feed her chicken broth for moisture.

Going out shortly to get some organic cranberry juice and organic AVC, etc. And both are also useful for me and my kidney issues.

Clavamox and tramadol can be given together.
