Poorly Jerry


Looks like the stress of the move has finally caught up with my baby.

I noticed blood in one of the cats urine yesterday but wasnt sure which cat it was from. Jerry stays in the bedroom with me at night and when I had got up this morning I noticed Jerry had pee'd in the shower and there was blood in it
Elaine took us to the vets earlier, he has idiopathic cystitis. He's had an anti inflammatory injection and Ive been given Cystaid and something else to help with the stress. Poor baby is sulking under the bed but was such a good boy at the vets bless him.

Off out to find something nice and tasty to bribe him to take the tablets in, although Im not holding my breath, he quickly gets wise to these little bribes

Re: Poorly Jerry


Poor Jerry I wouldn't bother wrapping them in treats Erin do what I did with mine.
Hold the cat and pop the tablet in the back of their throat and then rub....

Unless you have an extremely strong cat who cant be restrained, even with a towel. I have that problem every single time I have to worm Pickle.

He had cystitis when he was in the shelter, and it was so bad he was not allowed a bed!

Re: Poorly Jerry


Poor Jerry; glad you caught it early. Those anti-inflammatories seem to work fast, Leia was back to normal very quickly when she had cystitis.

Kazz, as Pcspik said, an extremely strong cat who won't be restrained is impossible to pill!
