Thread: Poor Monty... peeing probs / cystitis

Just when I thought Monty was doing so well! BANG... this morning he was constantly in and out of the litter box again! Obviously agitated and peeing only a few blood-stained drops.

Phoned the vet. The she-vet was on duty and said: “Out of the cat comes pee, however little, and into the cat goes medicine… so right now there isn’t much I can do. If he doesn’t get better over the weekend, come back Monday and we’ll do an X-ray to see if he has a stone. In the meantime, keep up the meds and give him all he can drink.”

Which we’re doing right now. Luckily the local supermarket has canned tuna on offer, so hubby returned with a big shopping bag full of cans. (I’ll have to find some new tuna recipes for us.) And we got a new drinking fountain. We’ll just take the slime cleaning for granted. All three Coonies were fascinated when we plugged it in, but they haven’t drunk from it yet.

Thankfully Montyman acts his normal cheerful self, the only time he appears uncomfortable is when in the litter box. Right now he’s in front of the telly with little Minnie watching a cat DVD. You'd think there was nothing wrong with him.

But I am feeling very gloomy. And concerned. Why did his symptoms return?
I am not easy with this.
