Unfortunately Melbcat does have a bacterial UTI. She's been prescribed banana scented antibiotics. Some cats like the taste but I had to chase her through the house to dose her when we got home. She's had her Solensia too which should help slow the arthritis as well as manage pain. The monthly vet bills are gonna be steep...
And just now I found out that this new antibiotic is amoxicillin which she's allergic to. I wish I'd noticed sooner ๐ฌ Sorting it.
gentle hugs for you both
It's so hard looking after pets because they don't speak. If only they could tell us what is happening with them we could help them so much more and they wouldn't get stressed either
I do wish she could talk. I'm usually very good at picking up issues almost immediately (called the cystitis before seeing the blood) but the non-bacterial inflammation ones are kind of the norm so I tried that approach first.
I got onto the vet in time and managed to emergency uber there to get a different medication before close. Somebaby just got fed a crushed up tablet in water and is not happy... ๐
