It's sunny here in southeast Michigan....and c-o-l-d!

Still no grandson unit...looks like it might be November 30th, as they predicted.

I have to take Scotia the cat to the vet...urinary tract troubles again...

Is Scotia male or female? On a wet-food only diet? Both sexes do better on all wet food if they suffer often from things like crystals. (I'm not a vet, but worked closely with a Very Good Vet for 4 years and have some insight in that I've seen "miracles.")

Hope your kitty will be okay. *love*

Scotia is a female, 5 years old, dark tortie. About a year ago, we took her to the vet because she had urination issues. Turns out she had SEVERAL bladder stones! So we had surgery done, and all has been fine up until yesterday or today.

Aw, poor baby. That's crystals built up. As she ages, it will likely worsen. If Scotia is not on an all-wet food diet, try it. It's often the only change needed to keep this painful situation from recurring.

We give her prescription wet food (she'll eat about a teaspoon at a time). We leave dry food down for all the cats (we have 3).

Last time we thought there might be an issue, we took her in, had her checked, and no issues, Now, though,, she's bleeding when she urinates. The vet kept her overnight so he could do an ultrasound with a full bladder and a urine check. We'll see what happens.

My friend's daughter had her baby the other day. A month late!

What?! They must've gotten the due date wrong, right?

I guess. Probably related to the certain amount of dysfunction in the family.

That'll do it!
