My heart goes out to you and Ginger. Let us know how it goes.


Thanks LB, Matthew and those of you who emailed me.

Good news: we have a medical cause for the inappropriate peeing.

Bad news: sure looks like her ureters are partially blocked with stones.

Ginger is still with the vet--he hasn't been able to palpate her bladder
all
day. He took a radiograph to get an idea of where her bladder was, and
found the stones. Her kidneys look clear, but her bladder is oddly
radio-opaque.

So, my vet is running some fluids, taking a couple more radiographs,
getting
some pain meds on board, and will attempt to get urine later today.

(There have been pee spots in her litterbox, which is cleaned daily, so I
know that she can pass SOME urine.)

This is SO frustrating. Two months ago, her urine was free of crystals or
stones, and her radiographs looked FINE. I switched her to Royal Canin
renal diet from Innova after her CRF diagnosis, started her on sub-q
fluids
at home, and her bloodwork came back better. Now this.

Poor kitty

Corey


Corey it will all work out some way some how there is a plan even though
we may not see it or understand may not even want it to happens. Everyone
is purring and praying for a good outcome. It can be so frustrating when we
have something we love with all our heart is hurt or in pain and there is
nothing we can do but be there and do the best we can for them.
Just remember Corey THEY KNOW AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
They know keep that in your heart it will help at night trust me!
