My 6 year old female cat was healthy (or seemed to be healthy) until 2 months ago when she stopped eating for a couple of days. So I had to take her to the vet. After the tests and examinations, the vet found blood in her urine, and she was diagnosed with bladder infection. Anyways, she was on antibiotics for a week. A week later, I took her for another urine test, but they found blood in her urine. So they did ultrasound on her to find out what was causing the blood. They found out one of her kidneys wasn’t functioning at all. And the other kidney was overworked and infected. They also found inflammation in her bladder. So the vet said she had Cystitis. And I came home with more antibiotics and also a new pill (There is no permanent cure for this illness). This was last week. And since then, there hasn’t been any improvement whatsoever.
I hate seeing her in pain like this. The antibiotics are making her sicker. She’s having diarrhea because of those pills. She’s sleeping most of the times. She’s not as active as she used to be. Yesterday she couldn’t clean herself, and I had to clean her. And sometimes she cries… I even canceled my vacation because of her.
I’m about to give up. I’m physically and mentally tired. She’s not happy. Should I just stop giving her those pills and just give her all my love and attention?
