Icarus & UTI

Why would you not want it to be confirmed that he was coming home tomorrow?
I would think you'd be happy about that?

I hope it all works out and your cat is finally able to come home.


I hope he can come home tomorrow afternoon (the earliest possible
time, I guess)--and we can get to him. He is most unhappy. (I
wish I didn't have that confirmed.)

I can see why. He is in a strangle place with people checking him regularly
and also having to pee under pressure. I wouldn't be happy either. Hopefully
they gave him a nice towel or something soft to sleep on. I would think good
thoughts here.

Mingy now sleeps much of the say anyway, so that's a good bet. I
wonder if he'll get any sleep at the hospital? He is so upset, he
may not be able to.

My vet prescribed both dry and canned food. He is eating Hills s/d dry and
c/d canned and of course a/d. He doesn't like it too much but the other cats
were willing to eat it.

I think I might have misheard the type of food the vet mentioned.
I am sure I'll get some when I am picking baby up. Unfortunately,
I gather the wet food does not come in a chunks with gravy. I
think it will probably be easier to segue him into a new dry food,
since I would do it gradually. The wet food will be an issue
though. So is Hill's just available at the vet's?

I didn't want it confirmed that he is very unhappy. Of course, I
want him home tomorrow!!!

My main concern now is that he is so upset!!!!! That can't be
good for him! At least I can pick him up any hour of the day or
night, so as soon as he can get home and the roads are the least
bit drivable (for my more-intrepid friend), I will go rescue him.

Although it's upsetting for you to think of him being unhappy at the vet's,
don't take unnecessary risks, going to get him if the roads are really
awful tomorrow. In the end, more important that you get there & back safely
w/him - even one more night at the vet's won't make a difference - in the
long run.

I did leave a towel with him, so maybe he has that. I hope he can
sleep.............

That's how I got the Hills Special Prescription Diet was at the vet. Icarus
has to eat it for 3 weeks. But I am also giving it to the other cats as a
preventative. I think you might be able to get Hills at Petsmart but I went
with what the vet prescribed at first since he only needs a cup a day of the
dry food. I mixed it with the old food so they can easily transition over to
it.

I would sit back and relax and know he is being cared for.

You can only get Prescription foods at the vet.

Did you ask the vet about mixing the prescription food with the old for
Icarus? I'm not sure that's a good idea. I thought the whole deal with the
Rx food is it is specially formulated to stop the crystals from formulating.
If mixed with regualr food, it won't be as effective.
