We recently picked our cat Willow up and she's been meowing and yesterday morning she actually hissed at me. That was my signal that something was wrong with her. I dropped her off at the vet and she had all sorts of tests done on her. Turns out that her PH was off and she has crystals in her bladder/urinary trac and she also has an infection going because of it. My poor baby! She's back from the vet now and she's got a new kind of dry food for urinary problems she'll be eating for the rest of her life. It's EXPENSIVE! For a large bag (the sort you throw over your shoulder it's so heavy) it costs about $45. Now I have to find a clever way to feed her this food, while keeping her out of the bowl of other food that she can't have any more. If you have suggestions, let me know. So far I've come up with the idea to feed them at the same time and just watch them twice a day. A pain, but it'll get the job done. Or... I also thought of feeding them seperately as one is locked up in the bathroom. I think I may do the latter. Willow has pain medicine injected into her. She also has an oral pain med I have to give her every day. She's getting all of the cuddling soft and loving attention she can handle right now. She was "nursing/milk treading" at my side so much last night I could hardly sleep!
