Sickly Mow

MowMow · 01-27-2012, 11:26 PM

When I got home from work today (thank goodness I came home early) Mr. MowMow was crying a lot and in and out of the litterbox.

We've been there before. I called the vet and headed back into my room to change. While I was changing MowMow pulled my sleepshirt off the doorknob and squatted on it. He's *NEVER* tried to urinate out of his box, even in the middle of Urinary blockage and UTIs. Now I was *REALLY* worried.

Vet sedated him and pulled some urine and he's got a raging UTI. SHe sent us home with antibiotics, suggested a probiotic to counteract the side effects of the antibiotic.

A decent chunk of change later we're home. I've set up a litter box in my room and we're both in here with the door closed so the kitten can't bother him and so I can monitor his output. Besides, all he wants to do is lay close and sleep.

I'm usually pretty stingy with the heat but tonight I turned it up to 60 for him in my room and he's LOVING that.
Here's my pitiful unhappy and still mildy drunk angel.

Poor baby! Good Good Mama! Sometimes a heating pad helps. I've only had to do this with fosters but I've found 2 or even 3 boxes each with a different type of litter sometimes helps espescially with the ones who've been through it before.

Did I mention what a good job you did jumping on it so fast - sucks to be Mow Mow but he is a lucky boy to have you!

How horrible for you both. Its so hard to see them in pain. I hope the antibiotics do their job quickly and he's feeling better soon.
