Pouncer needs prayers again

[catnapper]

Thanks for the prayers everyone. He's looking much better this morning. Even woke me up to tell me that it was a full two hours since he was fed last

Right now he's sitting in the window ack-ack-acking at the squirrels and trying to convince me he should go outside and ack-ack at them in person.

We'll leave for the vet in about 15 minutes, so I'll let you know how everything goes when I return.

Oh poor Pouncer! I'm so sorry to hear sweet Pouncer isn't feeling well again. Many prayers and positive thoughts coming your way!

I'm back, but Pouncer is still there since he refused to give up a urine sample. They will keep him for the afternoon to try and get something from him.

The vet was acting as if she was confused as to why I was bringing in this perfectly healthy cat..... it seemed last time I got reprimanded for waiting. Now I bring him in on hte onset of an illness and I get odd looks for bringing him in too early. Is there a proper time frame to bring him in? If so, I apparently missed the window!

I told hubby how the vet was acting and he said, "We know when he's sick!" Yes, we do know! We've got plenty of experience with him being sick. Poor dude will be 4 years old this month and he's been sick most of those 4 years..... man, someone should have insisted I get pet insurance for him! LOL'

Anyway, I'm glad the vet didn't seem concerned. It means we caught it very early and can fix it with some meds and maybe different food. I'll see what the urinalysis says.

PS: I spoke to the vet about getting him to drink more water. I have several water fountains set up and he prefers to drink out of the bettta's bowl. So now I'm thinking of getting a few more bettas and setting them up throughout the house just so he has plenty of water options!

Kim,

I just saw this and I am so sorry. I hope Pouncer gets better!

We're back from the vet's. He was NOT a happy camper. But he is a good boy who only needs antibiotics to clear up a UTI. Does meowmie know her boy or what? Good thing we caught this early

We came home and I released him into the kitchen. He promptly ran out the back door that Ashley had open just a crack so there were were, chasing him down in the yard. Ashley caught him and he tried to bite her. My boy is most definately not a happy camper. I hope he forgives me soon for taking him to the white coats

My vet believes it "it's better to be safe than sorry" and so do I. You did the right thing. Prayers going out for the little guy.
