Hi:
My cat, Oliver, is just getting over a UTI. He's in the middle of his 7 day regimen of antibiotic and antispasmodic meds.
I noticed that the meds seem to be working tonight after the now thoroughly comedic routine of me attempting to give him his pills...
I got 1 of 2 into him, and he went off to use the litter box. Since he's had this UTI, he has been using the litter box with his bum sticking out of the opening when urinating (or trying to). Not sure why - my guess is something to do with the pain he was feeling before when he couldn't go easily. That's how I noticed that there was blood in his urine as there were little red drops on the litter liner. Helpful sign!
So, tonight, when he went to use the litter, it was Niagara Falls -- all over the floor!! :) Hilarious. Easy enough to clean up and nice to know he is getting better.
My concern however, is that this continues and I am forever cleaning urine from my floor! He has always used the litter with his head sticking out of the opening in the past. Any ideas or advice?
Thanks.
