Hello everyone!
Last wednesday my sister (who stayed with me for a week) left. The next day i cleaned my sweet Zeussi's litter box and went on doing what i was supposed to do. Friday comes and goes and then comes Sat. Zeus wasnt greeting me at the door when i came back from an outing and was keeping to himself. I thought it all had to do with my sister leaving so i didnt give it much of a thought until on Sat, as i was sitting on my bed i noticed my poor Zeus enter his litterbox about 2-3 times. At first i thought it must have been very dirty and he was unhappy with it. So i removed the cover and that's when i noticed that the litter was clean! i looked around to check if he went anywhere else in the house but i couldnt find anything. That's when i started to freak out! i examined him trying to feel for any distended bladder, i went on line only to get even more frightened! what they wrote was not good at all! So as a last resort i called up my vet in my old town. "Dr.Nebojsa! Zeus isnt passing much urine!!! what can i do?!?!?!" "Take him to the vet immediately!" i felt my knees go weak! the last thing i wanted to here was that it actually was serious! "but i examined him and his bladder isnt distended" that's when he told me that i shouldn;t worry but that if he still didnt pass urine by next day i should take him to a vet. The reason why i was hesitant was, i dont know the vets in this town. And the one i do know, my vet had visited it and wasnt too happy with the place. a few minutes pass and my mind starts to work full throttle. "What if..." i dont even dare to think about it too much. All i knew then was, i need to go to a vet ASAP! That's when i took him to vet No.1. He was checked (and im glad to say my examination was right, his bladder wasnt distended) and he did a urinalysis for him... My poor baby had UTI (urinary tract infection) he had pus cells, red blood cells and casts in his urine and while normal urine's ph should be around 6, his was 8!!! he got his first shot and then was given antibiotics to take home orally...
Long story short... i couldnt give him the oral antibiotics, the vet didnt reply to my calls and there was only so much my old vet could do for me... That's when i started to panic, and started to think how this was all my fault for moving away from my home town!
I messaged my friends and colleagues hoping someone knew another vet and thank God i found my current vet!
Today was his third shot. Thank God he is more active, more talkative (oh how i love it when he talks!) and he is peeing more!!! i never thought i'd be soooo happy to see my cat pee!!!
I wrote this for all pet owners out there. If u think there is something wrong with ur pets then chances are there is. Dont wait too long, take them to ur vet. What's the worse that could happen? the vet tells u he/she is fine? isnt that better than the alternative???
I love my cat to infinity and beyond! and i just hope that this blog might help...
