My cat, Mitsi, is 18 years old. She doesn’t have any signs if the urinary tract infections or lumps or bumps. She has no problem going in her litter box though occasionally she trips and pees when she is getting in the box (it’s only 4 or 5 inches high).
To be more specific with her scratching, she has done it for years but now she screams and pees when she does it.
She’s peeing on everything now and a couple times a day, I don’t know what to do anymore.
My family doesn’t have enough money to take her to the vet and due to her age they probably wouldn’t let me, but thank you for any help!
She has no problem eating or drinking and she pukes every once in a while as she’s always done. Besides the scratching and peeing , she’s just like she’s always been.
My 14 week old cat have red swollen puss filled eyes and idk what to do
Hello,
I am sorry but our site went down after your question was asked. All eye conditions, especially one like yours describes need to be seen by a vet ASAP to protect the vision and correct the underlying cause. In cats this age it is usually an URI. Antibiotics and fluids are needed.
Is covenia safe for cats? My cat recently had one for a UTI.
Yes it is safe for cats, why do you ask? Did your cat not get better? This sounds like something to discuss with your vet.
She just had the injection today. I just read some horror stories when I googled it. Thank you for answering so quickly
I was curious if unsweetened cranberry juice is safe for cats. I know it helps keep the urinary tract healthy in humans. Can it do the same for cats. If so, what is the safest dose?
It should be fine but make sure you dilute it with 1 part cranberry juice to 3 parts distilled water as it still has a high sugar level hope this helps 🙂
My cat may have an earplug, what do I do?
Eaten*
Not much you can do at this point! If she did eat one it may pass with no problems. You need to pay attention for the next few weeks for signs that it didn’t pass and is causing problems – such as her refusing to eat; eating and then vomiting within a hour or so; listlessness, etc.
Why is my 4 year old male cat spraying me when we’re both in the bathroom
That’s odd! My guess is he’s stressed and is showing his stress. I saw your other post about the kittens…is HE neutered? Do you have 4 litterboxes (one per cat plus one)? Are those litterboxes VERY clean?
Bringing in new animals cause upheaval in a home, even if you do it the right way with slow introductions. ASSUMING HE IS IN GOOD HEALTH, and assuming you’ve had him checked since this started, I’d suggest picking up some feliway from petsmart or petco. I’d also prevent him from going into the bathroom with you.
Yes Bell is neutered kitten’s aren’t yet so ? Is how to keep the kitten out of his box Laura he was at the vet for shots about month ago clean 3 boxes out 1-2. x’s a day. Thanks for responding Laura.
Like I said: try Feliway. I’d also give him some personal time with you (away from the bathroom) – this COULD be his way of claiming you.
My cat has a very bad abscess on his head. Was sick for a few days before we realized. A drain tube was installed about 30 hours ago. Lots of drainage still. Cat not very responsive, eyes not opening to look at me, mostly laying in one spot. As far as i can tell, he’s only getting up to urinate in the box. He drank some water last night. Had a very very small bite of food but hasn’t really eaten for days. Is this normal now that the tube is installed? He was given fluids and a antibiotic shot. I feel like the infection, not the antibiotics, is winning the battle. How long before I see progress or need to take him back to the vet? I’m thinking we should go back tomorrow 48 hours after having the tube installed if he’s still like this. Thoughts?
I agree, I’d get him in today.
My 5 yr old house cat won’t stop urinating on my bed and I don’t know why
For how long has this gone on?
This could be medical. Have you taken your cat in to check for a UTI? If not, this should be step 1. Take a fresh urine sample with you, if possible.
This could also be behavioral. Is your cat stressed? Do you have two or more litterboxes (one per cat plus one), and does your cat use any of them? Have you tried different litter types? Has your schedule changed suddenly, or is someone new in your life? Could your cat be bored? Do you use room sprays and scents that might bother him? Do you have other animals in your home, and could any of them be picking on him? How about people – do you live with any other people, and could they be harassing or otherwise mistreating him when you’re not around?
My cat has developed some bald patches on her back, where her tail is, with small reddish brown scabs underneath. They are the size of pin heads.
Flea reaction? Mange?
Looks exactly like my dogs back right now, and we have a bad case of the fleas. I am calling an exterminator tomorrow, I would recommend doing the same and getting her treated with Front line and a flea collar
Hello,
This morning I went to clean my cat’s litter box and found little droplets of blood on the litter box liner, She is drinking normally, however she does seem to be straining to defecate. Otherwise she is roaming around normally.
Hi,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. The blood spatter was on the outside of the litter box. I could see no traces of blood in her urine. Is it okay if I just observe her for 24 hours ?
I will do That. Thank you for your help.
Rugrat is urinating normally, although the urine is a clear yellow. It turns out she was a little constipated. I gave her som maple flavored gel to help get her GI tract back to normal
Rugrat is back to her little old self
I would be worried about kidney disease and hypertension. Your vet can help with these. I am sory for the delay. the site was down. best wishes
