Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2005I'm so frustrated
It looks like Bartleby has a UTI. He peed on the bathroom floor and the urine was blood tinged. Bartleby is so difficult to med, this is going to be fun. My DH has been on litterbox cleaning duty since I can't do it, and he does NOT clean the litterboxes every day. I told him this could happen!! Between this, shelter issues, and the fact that my pregnancy is not exactly going smoothly, I don't know what to do. I don't want to bore you all with my pregnancy issues, but to sum up, I'm close to being hospitalized. Back to Bartleby's UTI: I know the vet will recommend C/D food. I really don't think food is the issue here. It's either the litterboxes or that it has rained for like a week straight here. Bartleby gets depressed when it rains. Ugh! We've gone years without a UTI, why now?!?!!?  Signature-Kelly > It looks like Bartleby has a UTI. He peed on the bathroom floor and the > urine was blood tinged.

I told him this could happen!! Kelly, you have my sympathy. I went through this with my husband. He fought cleaning the box near his office every day tooth and nail--I thought it was so blinking adolescent. It is harder to clean the box when it gets dirty, and I cannot understand what the hell he was thinking. > Between this, shelter issues, and the fact that my pregnancy is not exactly > going smoothly, I don't know what to do.

I cannot imagine dealing with problems when "as pregnant" as you are. > Kelly, you have my sympathy. I went through this with my husband.

I am by no means a neat freak, but I think he and I just have completely different views on what constitutes "dirty". I've tried to tell him that cleaning at least once a day is easier, but he doesn't get it. > I'm sorry you're having a tough time, and Bartleby too. I cannot imagine > dealing with problems when "as pregnant" as you are. Thank Mary. I think I really need to cut back on the shelter stuff. It gets stressful.

Ah Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all this - just carrying twins should be all one woman should have to handle at one time! [How far along are you now?] Hopefully Bartleby will be just fine with some meds and or special diet. And I'm sending a cyber kick-in-the-butt to get your hubby up off his keister and start helping your out more (he should be waiting on you hand and foot!!!). Hugs, CatNipped > Ah Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all this - just > carrying > twins should be all one woman should have to handle at one time! [How far > along are you now?] 27 weeks, we're getting there! > Hopefully Bartleby will be just fine with some meds and or special diet. I hope so too. Hopefully, I've caught this before it becomes a blockage. We're going to the vet first thing in the AM. > And I'm sending a cyber kick-in-the-butt to get your hubby up off his > keister and start helping your out more (he should be waiting on you hand > and foot!!!). Thanks! He's doing an OK job. At least he cooks for me :) Signature-Kelly >> Ah Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all this - just >> carrying [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks! He's doing an OK job. At least he cooks for me :) Well, I'd say the number one thing is he needs to just do it before he goes to bed. Obviously it bugs Bartleby. Keep some bags and scooper nearby so he can just do it without thinking too hard. After all, he needs to get used to diaper duty! ...> -Kelly Sorry to hear about Bartleby's UTI and your problems as well. I hope it all sorts out soon and you can stay out of the hospital. Annie > Sorry to hear about Bartleby's UTI and your problems as well. I hope it > all sorts out soon and you can stay out of the hospital. > Annie Thanks Annie. I really hope so too. I'm dreading the hospital like it's jail. Signature-Kelly > It looks like Bartleby has a UTI. He peed on the bathroom floor and the > urine was blood tinged.

Ask your vet if you can get the liquid amoxycillian, which is MUCH easier to use than pilling. Tell your DH that if he doensn't like cleaning the litterbox, he's REALLY gonna hate doing twins in diapers, so he better get with the program or else. Get the CD catfood and use it, and do anything else to make this a much less stressful time for you and the cat. Nothing worse than a kitty with a UTI when you're preggers with twins. BTDT.

Nothing > worse than a kitty with a UTI when you're preggers with twins. BTDT. Yeah really. I can't even imagine what the diapers are going to be like! I'm going to have DH take him to the vet tomorrow and do the meds (I'll help, but I want this to be his thing). Signature-Kelly > Yeah really.

I'm sorry for all you're going through now, Kelly. I hope everything works out fine. Candace > It looks like Bartleby has a UTI. He peed on the bathroom floor and the > urine was blood tinged.

Everything else you talked about is secondary to your own health and that of your unborn child. Hi, I'm new to the list. Did you try having your OB-Gyn tell your husband about the dangers of the cat litter? That's what my Ob-Gyn did, told him the horrors of the toxoplasmosis and explained that the litter box would need to be dumped daily (we lived on a farm when I was pregnant,so..) That worked right up until the baby was home from the hospital.. > It looks like Bartleby has a UTI. He peed on the bathroom floor and the > urine was blood tinged.

Sorry to hear this, Kim was given Synulox tablets when she had cystitis and I crumbled them onto her food. No matter what the cause of FLUTD is , the more moisture the better. Stress might have brought this on so some feliway might help.
