Help, Decker is peeing blood! UPDATE #38 - He's sick again!

[jazzcat]

Just a quick update. Decker is doing okay but I haven't seen another pee biscuit since about 6 pm. He is dribbling red urine in the box. Some is coming out but no large amount, of course he goes often so that may be why. Other than that he seems okay and he ate all his dinner (and some of Scouts). He's staying quiet and sleeping in my lap. I sure hope waiting till morning is the right thing to do. I will call the vet as soon as they open. I'm sure they will tell me to bring him in a leave him which I'll have to do since tomorrow is my day with Dad and he has an appointment. Richard already said he would pick Decker up by 5:30 if he can come home tomorrow.

Please keep my blue boy in your prayers.

Lori, I'm so sorry to hear about Decker. Hopefully it's nothing serious. It sounds like it could be a UTI. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated about him.

Lori, I am so sorry about Decker

If this helps, the same thing happened to Susie, she started peeing and it had a dark orange tint, but the next day it had "swirls" of blood in the pee. She always urinates OUTSIDE the box, so I saw it immediately. I took her into the vet, and with baytril she was just fine. I pray that is all Decker needs.

Please keep us updated!

*HUGS* to Decker and his worried Meowmie

I think I would take Decker right away this morning. Poor thing.

Morning update: I called and got an appointment for 9:15. The vet I see most the time now is off today but my old vet who is in high demand will fit him in. He's the vet who took care of Ripley when he was shot 14 years ago and again when Ripley almost died from a blood infection 6 years ago.

I'm glad I don't have to just drop him off but I bet I'll have to leave him because I think he's getting blocked. He just jumped in the litterbox and nothing but a couple drops came out. Poor little guy.

I'll update when I get back from the vet. Thanks for the prayers everyone.

I started my morning prayers w/Decker and Barney. Hopefully, he'll get relief very soon, poor sweet little guy. Praying for no blockage, just a UTI.
