Guinness Update


Got Guinness back from the vets this morning. He has got cysitas. They checked his blood for other causes but thankfully it was all clear. Apperentley big cats can have bouts of this Guinness is big. He's on antibiotics and has to back to the vets on friday for a check up. He's also eating, drinking and pee-ing as well. Thanks for all you for sending guinness all the kind toughts that you have sent.

Re: Guinness Update


The moment he came home and came out of his cage he went and beat up simon and kay and promptly went to scratch the settee I think i am going to let him get away with any thing today he's asleep now sat up with his head resting on his belly.

Re: Guinness Update


Jane - pleased he is home. Have you looked into the water thing at all? Do you remember - I was wondering if you are in an area where he is getting a lot of calcium in his water? Maybe bottled water would be an idea? And possibly a little extra water snuck into his food?

Re: Guinness Update


I'm really pleased Guiness is doing well and is home. The vet said the same about Sammy, we have to keep an eye on his weight too.

Re: Guinness Update


Hopefully all will be fine with Guinness now . . . cystitis is nasty!!

As well as bottled water, consider a water fountain. They have a filter and will obviously not filter all calcium but if you have a high content it your water it will go some way towards reducing it.
