Poorly Jerry

Poor guy. It may be more watery because he has been drinking more water from the fountain, just a thought.
No blood is a good sign. Are you managing to get him to take his meds?

In his food yes but for how long I dont know

He will wise up to it soon and stop eating the food

He is supossed to be having 2 of those cystaid tablets a day, you will have to give him one a day for me so i can hide the other in his food

He pee'd in the shower again and on the puppy training pads, only small amounts pee but no blood so hopefully its clearing up now.

Cystaid has glucosamine in it, which is wonderful for idiopathic urinary problems, as it forms a protective lining in the bladder. But it is well known that the first couple of doses can make cats sick/nausea, until the cats system gets used to it.This is normal with a Glucosamine related product. Nothing to worry about! I use Cystease (much the same as Cystaid) for my Amos, and he is sick the first couple of days that he is on it...

Can you break the tablet up Erin if so crush it by banging it in clean cloth and a rolling pin....

then mix it with something highly liked such as squirty cream...or tuna/salmon

No blood is a good sign Erin. Sounds like the sick is due to the glucosamine as catwoman says (I didn't know that). Hopefully he's on the mend, or at least not uncomfortable and will soon be mending.

I've had to crush chester's tablets so he cant see it and mix up with the tesco finest fish food.
He only noticed twice

Hope Jerry is on the mend poor little fella.
Sending lots of healing vibes, hugs and kisses your way xx

I had to put the cysteze into tuna for Leo...worked for about 2 days then he got wise to it!!!Thankfully he was back to normal when I came away...

All the meds are in capsule form, they can be sprinkled on food but putting too much in food will be noticed, leaving food untouched.

I just put them as far back in the mouth as I can and hold their mouth shut and stroke neck 'til they swallow whilst holding their body in my knees and I usually get clawed to bits but it gets the job done! They REFUSE to eat even the TINIEST bit in food or water or milk or anything...

Hope he feels better soon Erin, good luck!
