Baggy needs purrs
Baggy was trying to wee last night and couldn't, this morning he still
hadn't used his box and was very distressed. I took him straight to the vet where he still is, they're going to give him an anaesthetic and catheterise him. I've got to ring them this afternoon to see how he is and when I can collect him. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

Baggy was trying to wee last night and couldn't, this morning he still

I've got to ring them this afternoon to see how he is and when I can collect him. Sounds like feline urinary syndrome - our Ishmael had that. The good news is that it's almost always treatable. Ishmael had an episode of cystitis a few weeks later, and needed to be on special food for a long time, but he was a healthy happy cat who lived to a reasonable age. It must be one of the most rewarding things for a vet to deal with; the animal would certainly die without treatment and you really can fix it properly. One odd thing that happened to Ishmael you might want to know about; the anti-struvite/low-magnesium food he was on had a lot of egg in it. His fur went grey. From reading books on human nutrition, I knew that one of the few causes of that is biotin deficiency, which is EXTREMELY hard to get - the usual cause is eating raw egg, which binds irreversibly to biotin. (Nearly all the books report the same case, a middle-aged alcoholic whose diet was exclusively red wine and raw eggs). We got some biotin supplement (not at all easy to come by) and after a few stiff doses his fur went black again. We kept him on the Hills low-Mg food for a few years until they changed the formulation and he'd rather have starved than eat it, so went back to a normal diet, though we made sure he didn't get tuna - no more urinary problems. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |
