How cosmic is this?

Well I had more than my share of UTIs back in the day. I wonder if she has a resistant UTI, that 7 days of antibiotic hasn't killed off. Sure can happen with people, why not kitties? Seems very strange that the vet would not get a urine culture for a firm dx, even if she has to be sedated to collect it. I sure hope a solution for her comes soon. (Courtesy, Dr. Hops who isn't one but plays one in her head...)

Lighter, I love the hot glue ticks attack. Very funny (and very smart!).

OOOO pets.

Hopsie, she's a good dog to be obsessed about :)

I'd love a dog but circumstances aren't right at the moment (plus the cat wouldn't be happy, lol) but I'm still hoping to do voluntary dog walking once son's health is good enough that we can commit to a regular walk.  I think it's especially nice when you take on a rescue dog, it's lovely to give them a better life when they've not had a good start x

Hops, the vet said her bladder was really small... and they tried expressing enough to sample and couldn't get any.

Lighter, I've been giving her bottled water or using the reverse osmosis all this time. If it were the water, she'd had had symptoms by Christmas after we moved.

Any chronic disease would've shown up in her bloodwork.

So, I'm following her lead about what she wants and trying not to stress about it. She CLEARLY doesn't want to be upstairs. I found her under the power recliner the last time, after looking everywhere she could get to. Their instinct is to hide from potential predators when they don't feel well, to protect themselves.

It's going to start getting crazy busy around here, with a lot of physical disruptions in the house itself soon. That's going to probably just make things worse for her, unless I get her established into a particular space.

Don't despair, don't give up! ((((((Amber & mio mio))))....
There's this: https://www.amazon.com/Non-Absorbent-Reusable-Litter-Urine-Collection/dp/B00I2YTTNA and a funny explanatory (Aussie) article: http://www.smallanimaltalk.com/2014/05/collecting-urine-sample-from-your-cat.html

Sending peaceful thoughts for a comfy kitty cave solution too.

love,
Hops

Hmmmm... it makes you wonder what chemicals have been used around and inside the house.  Pesticides, cleaning solutions..... even off gassing from carpets, and building materials for pets and people sensitive to such things. 

Paint. 

Ahhhh....it's stopped raining, but there's wind and dark stormy clouds.  I wish I could be outside in it.... the rain started again. I really love the rain.

I worry about pets when dealing with the wood mice around here. 

It's got to be something with mio mio, Amber.

I hope you find it.
