Follow Up to Vet Appointment

Remember when I posted about my vet appointment last Saturday?  You guys left the sweetest comments by the way. Well, my urine test came back with blood, bacteria and crystals present. Yesterday, I started on antibiotics and a prescription diet. The Big Guy has to give me the antibiotics twice a day for two weeks! Then, in a month, my urine will be rechecked. It will be decided at that time if I should get an x-ray to see if I have any stones.

It's been about three and a half years since I had two stones removed from my bladder. The lady is so surprised that this is happening after all this time. I seem to feel well. I'm not making frequent trips to the litter box and I don't seem to be in pain. I'm busy keeping Pierrot in line and seeking out the best sun puddles in the house.
We're hoping for the best and refusing to worry at this point. We just wanted to share my news.

  6. Purrs that the antibiotics and prescription diet will do the trick! You're a real trooper, Annie!

    And be sure to keep reminding your mom not to worry, Annie. My Rosie's previous vet once told me that we have to remember to look at the animal and not just the test results. That was a year and a half ago at a time when Rosie's bloodwork revealed that her renal values had elevated drastically from her previous results. At the time, though, Rosie was showing absolutely no outward signs of sickness. So, I kept on administering her renal medications and forced myself to not worry. Now, a year and a half later, Rosie is still doing great, and her renal values have since gone back down to a far less concerning range.

    I guess what I'm trying to say in my long-winded way is this: Annie, if you're doing well and not showing any symptoms, then we'll happily focus on your good health!

  7. We're in the purring line to send mega purrs that the antibiotics and new diet help you get rid of that bacteria. Your Mom is wise not to worry. With all these purrs we believe you'll be fine as fiddle.

  10. Aw well I am hoping for the best too! At least you have been feeling good and everything. I just remember that cats who had past history of crystals would usually get them again later on unless they were eating those prescription diets.

  15. Paws crossed that the antibiotics help you get better. I hope you don't mind taking the medicine because two weeks is a long time if you're really annoyed by it. I had to take antibiotic pills twice a day for 10 days after having my teeth pulled and by day 4 it was no fun.
