Storm Does Have A Bladder Infection

[krazyaboutkatz]

Hi everyone. I finally found out that Storm does have a UTI. My regular vet is out of the country and on vacation so I talked to the head vet and he said that the amount of blood he had in his urine was a significant amout to indicate an infection. They also found struvite crystals in his urine. He's now on Baytril pills 2 times a day for the next 7 days and I also have some animax cream to put on his irritated pee pee area 2 times a day. He was on Royal Canin S/O but now I'm switching his diet to Hills Prescription C/D again for at least the next 2 weeks. I'll be mixing both wet and dry together. He'll then go back in 2 weeks for a recheck with my regular vet and hopefully eveything will be fine. I know that a lot of this has been stress related so this makes me feel much better about rehoming Cirrus.

Oh no, poor Storm!!
I hope that his medication will help him asap

Oh, poor Stormy. AND poor you!

Sorry to hear Storm has UTI. I hope the medication will help get rid of it. Instead of Hills C/ D which is supposed to prevent crystals forming, I'd give him S/D which should dissolve the crystals. Also, he'll probably like it better as there are more fat in.

It's very likely stress related as you think. Hopefully it will help calm him down when Cirrus finds a new home.

Good luck and scritchies to Storm.

Hope the antibiotics are kicking in my now Storm!

{{{hugs}}} Tracey. It's bad enough having a sick furkid, but having to deal with a sick furkid and rehoming one really has to be putting a strain on you. {{{hugs}}}

Daisy sends kisses and headbumpies to adorable Storm and is keeping her paws crossed that his medication is making him feel more comfortable.

Thanks everyone. I think he's starting to feel a little better because I've noticed that he's not licking his pee pee area as much as he was before.
