Clooney....

[Fran]

Clooney has started peeing on the dog's bed and on Em's quilt. We have noticed a slight blood stained tinge to it and some small blood spots too. Looks like vets trip tomorrow. I am assuming possible urine infection. I know Moli had issues of this nature recently, any advice Moli? Clooney is 10/11 months old and entire. Anybody got any thoughts? He appears well in himself. Still chatting and loving cuddles. He isn't eating but will only eat dry food not meat. Have been talking to the Siamese breeder this evening and she has suggested it may be because he has not been drinking as much water as usual and a course of AB's should sort him out??

[Moli]

Sounds like cystitis PK, breeders right a course of antibotics will sort him out..He is managing to pee okay isn't he???For some reason Merlin kept doing it in the dogs beds when he had it, some times just spotting....

[Mags]

I thought it could be cystitis too Fran:? Hope you get it sorted out tomorrow...

[Fran]

Thanks...yes he is managing to pee ok. Although more frequent and not as much quantity as usual. The breeder suggested syringing water down him...he wasn't too keen :? So I have offered him milk this evening to try and encourage him to drink more. I have noticed he isn't drinking as much as he used to do :? and will only eat dried food recently. But he is his usually happy self, no temperature or anything??

[Moli]

Merlin was eating normally PK, and drinking, The only clue he was not well was the blood in his box, and the smell from his urine....

Clooney has smelly wee anyway with him being entire. If he hadn't peed on the dog bed and Em's quilt we wouldn't have known about this :shock:

[Mags]

If he is only eating dry food Fran, he definately needs to drink plenty of water.....

Yes this is what is very worrying Mags...he seems to have stopped drinking much and up until recently he drank the most of all the cats. In fact I was starting to worry about how much water he was drinking :? now, it seems he has gone to the other extreme :shock:

[Moli]

Would he eat the biscuits if you soak them in water PK??

[Fran]

Hmmm hadn't thought of that Moli :roll: Will have to give it a try....

[bobbie3917]

hope he is ok Fran

[Donna]

Can you not take the biscuits away and just put down some meat in jelly as there is a fair bit of water in that? Hope Clooney is ok - let us know ASAP.

[Snoof]

You could always do a half-milk half-water mixture - the flavour (although reduced) will attract him into drinking it, but the added water will make sure he gets more moisture? Would that work?

It sounds like a urinary tract infection of some kind to me (cystitis falls under that umbrella IIRC), antibiotics will sort him out in that case. I hope all goes well at the vet's and that that's all it is!

Oh and give him scratchies for me, poor lad.

[borderdawn]

I can imagine the smell Fran if he is entire! Definately sounds like Cysitis, he will probably get a course of Synulox, its uncomfortable for them, hope he feels better soon.

This used to be really common with male cats eating dried food but the manufacturers have improved their products greatly.
Hope he gets sorted out today - antibiotics etc.

[CatGirl]

Hi, i agree that it seems to be cystitis,hope you soon get it sorted.x

[yola]

Yup - ditto that! Balie used to get UTI it quite frequently; he actually used to cry when peeing poor baby :( Hope Clooney get some ABs to sort him out!!

[CJK]

[Moli]

Anyone heard how Clooney is???

[Jeanette]

Oh no poor Clooney boy:-(

I hope he is allright...

[Mags]

Fran hasn't been on today, I hope everything is alright:?

[Fran]

Hi all, thank you for your concerns for Clooney. Yup the vet is thinking cystitis. he has had a ab injection and has ab tablets. If it doesn't clear up she will run some tests...
