My cat has a urination problem. He's been fixed since he was 6 months
old and has never sprayed. Urination has been found in some puddles on
the floor and other places, sometimes soaking his hindquarter. This is
very unusual for him.

I have taken him to the vet and he's gotten a urine test which came out
fine (tested for white blood cell count, crystals in urine and bacteria
- negative on all). The vet suggested that I give him an anti-anxiety
pill, but this hasn't cleared up the problem. In fact, after a 9 days
of taking the medicine, he threw up a few times yesterday (water and
food, separately). He did not eat much yesterday.

Yesterday, I also noticed a raw spot that looked like a sore in the
back area, perhaps where he sprays. When I picked him up, he growled at
me (this is unusual behavior also). It was about half the size of a
dime. He is an indoor/outdoor declawed cat and lives in a townhome
complex. There could be a bully cat in the neighborhood, although he
generally stays close to home.

Today, the spot looks better (more gray to match his coloring) and I
didn't give him his medicine, as I thought this could be making him
sick. I cannot afford another vet visit now. Any suggestions? I adore
my cat and don't want to risk his health.
