yehhhh. I have just managed to catch some, but got a tiny little bit of the normal cat litter in it, so I phoned the vets and they said they wouldn`t be able to use it really now because they would not be able to test it till tomoz, so they need a fresh sample in the morning, I couln`t believe it after all that.
so I will have to go through it all again tomoz.

The vet seems to think it is, I took him last Tuesday as his wees seemed a bit pinky, they took a wee sample there which showed that there was blood in his wee, which indicates some sort of infection, there is no crystals present as he tested there and then for that.
The vet gave him a antibiotic injection to clear the infection up which I thought had worked because the colour of his wee seemed to have improved, but it now seems quite pinky in colour again, so the vet has asked me to send in another sample.

I am getting abit worried and wish it would get better

We have SUCCESS yipeeeeee so I will now take that to the vets first thing this morning, the downside though is that it still has blood in it there does not seem to have been much if any improvement, will have to see what the vet has to say.

Re: HELP needed (PEE- sample)PLEASE


Hi everyone thanks for all the kind advice and support .
Just back from the vets with my poor little baby, hes feeling a little worse for wear, whne I took tha sample in this morning the vet took one look at his sample and said he wanted to see him straight away, so I went home to get him. he has been in all day he has been under anesthetic and on a fluid drip all day to flush him out, he was under anesthetic so they could xray his bladder and kidneys etc .

Good news is everything is fuctioning fine, but he has got a severe case of cystitus, which means he is on 3 lots of tabs twice a day of steroids, antibiotics, and some sort os cystitus tabs. luckly he is quite good at taking tabsshock:

We are going to have lots n lots of TLC tonight

Oh what a stressful day for you both! And what a blessing that you can pill him, some cats are simply impossible to pill. Sounds as if he'll be all right, bless him! Please give him a chin tickle from me.

What a difficult day for you and a horrible day for poor Maxi. My Merlin has had cystitis in the past and luckily seems to respond very quickly to meds - I hope Maxi does the same. Please give him a gentle cuddle from me.
