Cat TMIIt’s been a rough one. Melbcat was sick last night then had a urine accident in the bed, and is still sooky. All of this tells me getting the second course of antibiotics was the right thing to do. She still has the uti.

It’s the same broad spectrum antibiotic as before which isn’t ideal. But due to not being able to get her seen in person at the start and then her still being on them when there was a chance for a urine draw - this is what we’ve got and it is what it is. At least it’s a liquid this time which is easier to give.

But if it were pills I could count down to know just when she would finish and book a vet appointment for re-testing.

This sucks. She’s otherwise very healthy and happy aside from the arthritis which is being managed. It’s just these damn constant utis. And she can’t have any of the special prescription foods. Metacam would help pain and inflammation but is recommended against due to her kidneys.
