The vet told me since we didn't exactly know what sort of bacteria she has, she needed to be on the Orbax, which was a broader antibiotic, and the Clavomax was to help her get relief quicker.
I'm happy to see that she's at least had relief. I've still got to talk to the vet about her wellness results and I want to know what the progress of her culture is. Not to mention, I'm not wondering if maybe too high a protein diet may have contributed to this. I want to prevent this from happening again.

I am SO glad she is doing better. My cat Ty had a bladder infection once and we didnt notice until he started going out of the litter box and not pee but just droplets of blood! Dont feel bad, it happens to everyone. He too went on antibioticts, they had to keep him overnight to get a sample from his small bladder. In a few days he was back to his chirpy self

As for how to prevent a future occurrence, that could depend on what Oksana's lab results come up with. Urine ph can be a factor, and there are supplements that can help keep it within a more desirable range if Oksana is having trouble doing that on her own. Adding something like Cosequin, cornsilk or marshmallow root powder to help strengthen and sooth the lining of her bladder are other options. Stress can play a role for some cats as well (not saying that's the case here). Ask for a copy of Oksana's lab results and we'll go from there.

Got the wellness results back.
Everything was normal. Now we just have to wait for her culture to come back and see what kind of bacteria she had. The vet said food is not the issue, so that's good.
The antibiotics are doing their job and she's much better. I am going to get some supplements you suggested SCM. It can't hurt. I'm just so happy her results came back normal.

Glad to hear your wee girl is doing better.
Surprised the vet said that food wasn't the issue ....they usually try to sell you the crap stuff. |

Oh no, she's totally on board with what I'm feeding them. I love going to her because she's really open minded.

Yes, now that I know her wellness results came back with all normal readings I can relax. That's a very detailed test and they test for everything. I'd like to do the others one by one as well over the next few months. Luckily, it isn't super expensive, about $54 for the package, as opposed to $250 if you do each test individually.
Thankfully, we should have the results of her culture by the time their vet is on again, and I prefer talking to her, since she's their usual vet.

Constipated Male cat...Have tried everything...He is on pumpkin&high fibre canned ???
Quote:
He has been to the Vet and is on Meds for constipation, he has had several enemas and nothing yet accept a little liquid. I guess prayers are the only thing left. I have spoken to 2 Vets and one said that surgery is not always 100% successful and it is very expensive.Any other suggestions. I am running out of kleenex from my tears. |

Ok. Actually, from this page at the top where the blue print is, click on Cat health forum. It will open that particular forum for you. Click on the "New Thread" button which you will find right under where it says Cat Health Forum and above where the threads start.
You will then have your new thread started where you can ask your questions. Make sure you add your title. When you are finished click submit at the bottom of the "page" you are working on and your thread will be there. Hopefully that helps.
