Well got back from the vets a while ago. Everything is looking good. The
vet commented on how beautiful and shiny his coat is. His eyes had that
sparkle in it. Everything look ok from temperature to his gums having
perfect color. His abdomen was perfectly fine.

He thinks that it was behavioral since we have Dumplin' staying in a room
since it is too cold for animals outside. I also put advantage on him which
he hates. So the vet told me to try and collect a urine sample ( If I can
ha good luck for me). If he does it again bring him back and they would
keep him for observation plus do any test required. But he thinks it was
behavioral not a UTI. wiping forehead

He had a little tape worms segment in his fur so he got the dreaded nasty
tasting pill. Poor Baby. I felt really bad he distressed called twice in
my truck on the way over. The vet was very busy so all the noise made him
scared so he was shivering I kept cooing to him. He was fine as soon as he
saw the vet.

He is right now sticking his claws into me to get some more attention and
treats Little devils

Thanks everyone for the purrs. I will let the group know when I collect a
specimen and get it analyzed


So glad to hear that it is not a UTI. Rusty also got UTI in the past,
as
well as inappropriate peeing from behavioral problem. He was given
medications in both cases, and they worked well on him.

Here is what I did to collect urine samples. I put a clean litter box
liner
without the litter in the litter box. Rusty still went in the box as
usual, and
I collected the urine afterwards.
