Smokedate

So after Smokey's visit to the vet this past Saturday he was started on Fluoxetine 5mg and Lorazepam .25mg once daily. It's been a few days not and Smokey seems more at ease and has been using his litter box on a much more regular basis, in fact I'm not sure he's peed on the floor at all. I also spoke with Dr. Endo and my little boy has a little blood in his urine indicating a UTI. Now if you recall I had him at another vet some time ago and he was given some liquid antibiotic of which in my mind never cleared things up 100%. Anyway Dr. Endo is putting him on a pill antibiotic and suggests I also give him Cosequin. Cosequin is mostly for joint health but will also reduce the formation of crystals in cats urine. So looks like we have a few factors that have all come together and created a perfect storm. I'm hopefully optimistic that we are on the right track here.

Good luck Don. It seems you have found the perfect Vet. My fingers are crossed.

Don... wishing Smokey gets well soon. I'm going through a difficult time with my 15 yr old calico who's anemic plus other health issues.

Don, great news. Sounds like Smokey is on the right track

Get him a catnip plant, he'll be stoned to blazes & only get grumpy in the mornings when he wakes up. Keep the welding gloves handy & throw him straight out the window into the plant & he'll be your bestest buddy for the rest of the day, I know this works, i've done it, honest.
