Wish us luck
Have mentioned elsewhere that we have three moggies, oldest and youngest have never been any trouble, but the middle makes up for that. From a bout of feline enteritis two days after we got her, to an almost permanent skin condition triggered initially by an allergy to flea bites, she kept us back and forth to vets for years.Then after almost two years (when vets could not agree whether her constant grooming and virtual baldness was hormonal, nervous, or allergy - despite total elimination of fleas even 'bombing' flat twice to make sure), suddenly her fur grew in and she did not look back. Talk about thick soft fur, she is amazing.
But, she is a fuss pot. We changed the cat litter to that wood pellet type, and she just refused to use it. We ended getting her those puppy trainer pads and moving them closer to litter tray, but no go. So we had to change back.
But then we noticed that she seemed to be becoming incontinent, little puddles and drips, which seemed to be slightly pink. Research confirmed it was probably cystitis but also advised vit.C tablets. Which seemed to work, until last night that is.
I noticed she seemed to be straining in the tray, and assumed she was maybe a little constipated. But then last night my son came into my bed room freaking out. He had picked her off his bed inadvertently squeezing her abdomen and this bright red gelatinous blob dropped onto the floor. It must have been blocking her uretha because she immediately rushed off to tray and did an enormous wee.
Anyway he insisted on phoning vets for appointment, which is later today. Oh Lordy I hope the news is not too bad as he would be devastated.

Re: Wish us luck
Just got back from vets, and all is well. Just as I thought she had cystitis and the blob thingy was apparently typical. Anyway he gave her a double jab antibiotic and steroid £44! Learned something though. I always understood that dried food, or at least too much of it caused bladder problems, but he said no that that info is about twenty years out of date. Learn something every day huh?He said that not only does it clean teeth, it makes them drink more and therefore keeps bladder healthy. He also suggests getting omega 3, 6, & 9 capsules from health food shop and either squirting it I to her mouth or on to fur.
