@ML - His blood tests had been registering something wrong for a month. Last night I realized he kept going into one of the tubs and followed him, to discover that he was trying to pee but only drips with blood were coming out. Vet says it's not an infection, but something they see sometimes in young male cats as the days get longer - they don't know exactly why but they figure it's hormone affected. So he's full of IV fluid, pain killers, and other drugs I don't recognize - the purpose of which is to keep crystals and stones from forming until this passes.
Hope he is OK!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh..What's up?
ReplyDeleteI hope your cat feels better!
ReplyDeleteConcur on the hope he's okay!
ReplyDelete@Keads - Looks like he will be.

@Mad Mike and @NFO - Thanks. Mommy is tired from worry. You think when your kid leaves home that's over. And then you get a pet.
ReplyDeleteCats can make you crazy with their behavior ... and then make you crazy with worry when they DON'T behave normally. I hope he's okay.
ReplyDeleteI hope he is better soon. He's lucky to have you as him Mom.
ReplyDeleteI hope you kitty gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteI have some kitty critters myself.
@Rev - Yep.
ReplyDelete@Brigid - Thanks. He's not pacing and crying as much today.
@fuzzys dad - Thanks.
