Default Update on Spirit

I would love to be able to do that but I got six cats and the only room that
I can use to put him in separately has dumplin in it dueto cold weather and
Dumplin aggression problems. Thanks for the advice. I will try and use it
when warmer weather comes back to Florida

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.
