6 month old cat with blood in urine
Hello all,
I have a 6 month old female kitten who spent a week in a cattery at the beginning of sept. When we got home she was vomiting and would not eat or drinkg (if she did she was sick), we took her to the vet and she was kept in for two days, given a tummy xray (nothing came up), was rehydrated and given anti-biotics. She came home and was fine for a week or so. I then noticed ber pee was red in colour, though she didn't seem in any pain and was using her litter tray and eating and drinking. Took her to the vet and he tested urine (with a stick) and said PH was high, blood and protein were present. She was given antibiotics for a week. After a few days of taking them her pee seemed to return to normal and then went back to red once the tablets were done. I took another sample to the vet and he gave more antibiotics and examined the urine under the microscope, said there were no crystals nor infection present and that it was probably stress related cystitis and to get fellaway plug in as she could be stressed from cattery & illness etc. He also examined her and said her bladder etc felt fine, no tenderness at all/ She was due to be spayed last Friday so he said to go ahead with it, which I did. I picked her up and she was fine, in fact very lively and not at all sleepy like I expected. However her pee is now bright red again and I am really concerned there is something serious going on. She seems fine, very playful, eating and drinking no problem, she uses her litter tray and does not stuggle to urinate. The vet has asked me to take her back on Weds so they can observe her and do some more analysis on her urine and also maybe give her an ultrasound so they can see everything is working as it should.
Has anybody else had anything like this? I know I have to take her to the vet but I feel like I could be stressing her out more by doing this. Also I have read that an all wet diet is better for cats, she has half sachets of whiskas topped up with dry purina kitten food.
Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated, my apologies for the long rambling post.
Thanks
